Oh yes! It already seems so complex and offers something very different than the books I usually pick up but that only makes it more exciting. As unique as it is, it incorperates a lot of elements I hold dear- so that too, makes it enjoyable. As for the quote, I LOVE it. I was laughing out loud when I read it. In fact all of your responces to the interview questions I have read are very funny!
