BOOK WORM


"If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth."

Whew, what a first sentence. I know I've should have read this book YEARS ago, but better late than never, right?

  1. Yeah, I didn't read it until I was like 21 or something, but when I did I was like, oh yeah, so this is what everyone was talking about. I think I read it in a day and half because I literally couldn't put it down, not for a second. Your picture is great, too. Really awesome issue of that book. Is that what the one you have looks like?

  2. yeah, that is a great shot but isn't the copy i have, dammit. i have a paperback that has the merry go round horse on the cover, looks like a reproduction of a 50's era cover.
