RastaRicanAir 0 #52 August 11, 2006 YES! But at the same time lt's lost. I've been scouring it for quotes, one-liners, sig lines, etc. But it's so deep that nothing works out of context. Breakfast of Champions and Cat's Cradle have also cost me sleep.

I don't normally judge a book by its cover, but it was a factor in this case.

grue 1 #64 August 11, 2006 I'm out of books. I have literally read every non-textbook in my house. I need some of my authors to release new stuff :hs: What really sucks though is that I read so fast that a normal paperback is about a 2.5-3 hour diversion, at best. cavete terrae.
