I haven't heard of it, but it sounds like dope bathroom reading material.

Thank you for shedding some detail on that book. I always wanted it but thought it was one sided. But that is a hell of a list. Getting it today more than likely.

Sounds interesting. But I'm not much of a reader...maybe I'll pay Tran to recite it for me
