Indeed!

Just remembered: a friend of mine (the very same who gave it to me for my 18th birthday as a sort of initiation rite ;)) used to call this book the bible of human nature as it seems to measure every inch of the human soul.

Your comments make me regret not re-reading it with you, but it's high on the list of books to pick up one more time.
