This book is so rich I am taking it slow, rereading lines, saying words out loud. At the rate I'm going I'll still be reading it in January, just the thought of which makes me smile.

I was given a signed copy of this book for Christmas a couple of years ago, and I decided to shelve it until I passed my godawful licensing exam and then reward myself by reading it. Finally, on June 19th, I passed it!! But I forgot about this treasure until I knocked it out of place while looking for another book. And now the day has arrived and I'm about to read page 1. I anticipate some major reading ecstasy!!
