Yep, I mentioned it in the original posting. :-) I've read it a couple
of times, and am in the mood to re-read it again, but I cannot for the
life of me find my copy of the book. I just saw it a few days ago too.
Grr. I don't even want to talk about the number of books that I have more
than one of because I couldn't find the first copy that I had purchased
and I wanted to read it again .. either that or the book had an
interesting premise, but sucked so bad that I blocked it out, which of
couse caused me to buy it again because I didn't remember how much it
sucked. I hate it when that happens.

Okay, I'm going to bed now. That's a pretty frightening ramble, but I
think I'll post it anyhow. :-)
