  • Marked: Chs 12 – 14

    I hate this book.  I really, really hate this book.  I hate this book so much that I happily ignored it last week, making excuses about being ‘too busy.’  (I was busy, but not ‘too’ busy.) I’ve hated the other books on this blog.  That’s kind of the point.  Thing is, I like hating stuff. …
