If you were trying to write a book that would get bad reviews, you'd write one that was impossible to read. This is that book.I can breathe under water.And yet, that's the VALUE of this book. It is an immense list of items that stop you in your tracks.When my parachute failed to open, I realized that, statistically speaking, my chances were not good.I hated it the first time I read through it, but I typically abandon books I hate, about 10% of the way in. I kept reading. And then I reread portions.Nobody knows the trouble I've seen, so you'll be the first.I'm not sure why I went back and read it again. It's obviously very choppy. On the other hand, it's pretty funny.Driving did not distract me from texting.Larry Niven has an alien species in his books called the Piersen's Puppeteers. They are incredible cowards. They have no sense of humor. Humor, he explains, is the result of an interrupted defense mechanism, and what sane species would interrupt a defense mechanism? They consider us insane.After I tripped over the bear cub, I tried to reassure its mother that I meant no harm.It probably would make a good book to read while sitting on the porcelain throne, because your family would rather you not read "War & Peace" there.An earthquake hit, just as I was making the last critical cut on the huge diamond.Yeah, it's kinda annoying - but on the other hand, sometimes that's the scratch that's demanding that you itch. And alternate paragraphs in this review, starting with the second paragraph, are excerpted from the book.
