16. If I don't die, and if 12/21 is a puffy bubble...

Based on your opinion, I may read the book. Longevity has everything to do with it. My library request is Number 144, and they have 20 copies with two more on order....That means that when I finally read this book, it will be old enough to qualify as a classic.

Thanks for your input - but 63 ain't all that old. It's that damned bible thing about man is allotted 70 years - whose 3 years have I stolen? And is my punishment for it a falling-apart body and fractured brain?

Oh well.
