Read in December, 2005
Some people say this is very similar to "Waiting for Godot." Similar, perhaps, but not at all the same. Both are about inertia, but this is more a personal, absurdist inertia, whereas "Godot" seems to be a parabolic (like a parable), existential inertia.

This is not the exact edition I own, but it will have to do. Oddly, I've never read it. That'll soon change.
