“By now, it is probably very late at night, and you have stayed up to read this book when you should have gone to sleep. If this is the case, then I commend you for falling into my trap.

It goes back to authors being terrible people who delight in the suffering of others. Plus, we get a kickback from the caffeine industry...”
