Isnt this book a beast!

So my horrid house mate of course only reads monster size books and enjoys recommending them to me, alright alright to be fair she makes them sound great and she a fantastic housemate beyond the ginormatron sized books she reads.
anyways my list of recommended books is getting out of hand, and i really need to knock a few off the list. so i thought i'd start with this sucker.
*sigh* wish me luck. hopefully i'll come up for air in a few hours.
