John gave me one of the author's copies (I forgot to have him sign it - darn) at our recent ARG meeting. I tried to read a bit of it in bed that night, and I think I cut off the circulation in my legs. :-) I didn't read it for long. I was worried that the airplane back to the US would be overweight because I was packing it. :-) Seriously, it is VERY heavy - I don't recall many books that heavy. (I just picked it up again and it still feels like a pair of bricks -- I hope the bookshelf is strong enough to hold it. :-) Next time I read it, it will have to be at a desk. Randy.
