    <body><![CDATA[I dated a guy back in high school who went on and on about this book and how it CHANGED HIS LIFE, MAN! I was young—16 and 17. I was suspicious about this guy, but whatever. I was young and impressionable and he had an original pressing of The Velvet Underground and Nico—you know, the one that Andy Warhol did with the banana? <br/><br/>Anyway, he loved this book (the guy I dated, not Andy).  <br/><br/>Then one day he purchased it for me. And I read it and was bored to tears by it. And when he asked me if I liked it, I was all, &quot;Yeah, man. It's soooooo good.&quot; Because that's what you're supposed to say when you're young and stupid and you want some guy's banana.<br/><br/>But man, this book didn't do anything for me. It certainly didn't change my life.<br/><br/>Oh, and Mike? You can take that banana and this book and shove it right up your own ass. ]]></body>
