At the risk of being over-dramatic, this book symbolizes the pleasure that a reading life can hold in store--you can major in literature, be a serious reader for decades, and then randomly pick up a book at a used bookstore, buy it only because you have credit there and they are about to go out of business, and discover--the golden ass! How marvelous! <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/258790?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
