looks like you picked a more attentiony op image last time, or something. anyway, i really like this book. i read it years ago and then bought it again from a thrift store cause i'd forgotten i had it. it seemed familiar when i started reading it, but i just assumed i'd read excerpts on wikipedia or something...but then i was like ok i definitely have read this before and then eventually found it on my shelf. it was a hardcover and the 2nd was a paperback copy so that's probably why i didnt recognize it as something i had from the cover.
