The funniest book I have read in a while.

There are times in the middle of a story where you think the guy doesn't know what he is doing, or he is just playing with you, but the work is that of a master you realize that without a doubt when the story finishes - the play, even if it is a play, is not for his amusement, not out of ennui, it is a display of craftsmanship, which makes you climb to the edge of a cliff and suspends you hanging.

Rented it but I think it might just be keep-worthy. A lot of information and unique case studies - and some of the accounts can be useful for my side characters!

If the heart is to be ready for the highest, it must he vacant of all other things. If I wish to write on a white tablet, whatever else is written on the tablet, however noble its purport, is a hindrance to me. If I am to write, I must wipe the tablet clean of everything, and the tablet is most suitable for my purpose when it is blank.

The philosopher Avicenna says, "The spirit which is truly sanctified attains to so lofty a degree that all which it sees is real, all which it desires is granted, and in all which it commands, it is obeyed."
