As each new page of this seminal crime classic turns, and the relentless depravities of the Manson family are laid bare in stark contrast to Sharon Tate's outward kindness, devotion, and aspirational lust for life, I'm more and more grateful for Tarantino absolutely CLOWNING on these moronic, evil monsters five years ago.

I'm loving this so far, and I'm waiting for the day that I can stop reading 20 scripts a week professionally and grading student scripts so I can actually view reading as a leisurely, non-stressful activity again.

37 pages in, and there's already a ton of sage advice in here that would've been amazing to recognize and express to some past partners and in prior work negotiations. But that's okay. Onward and upward!

Am I emotionally vulnerable right now? Yes.

Did I read Cisneros' introduction in a modest, exceptional cafe in Buffalo? Yes.

Did I highlight 11 passages from the introduction alone? Yes.

Did I tear up already? Yes.

Can't wait for more. And thank you, Syd, for convincing me to give this one a look.
