I own that book which is really useful as a self defense weapon-- if anyone sneaks in my house tonight I'm gonna pick up that book, throw it across the room, and kill them with it. Or worse, make em read the book and in a fit of extreme boredom they should throw themselves out of the window and take their own life.
Dry, longwinded, yuck!
