I certainly wouldn't describe this as a plot-driven novel - but I still found it plenty engaging as a story. <br /><br />I do agree with you, though, that reading it is definitely worthwhile if only to understand the many references that have become common parlance.bekahcubedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11449654823418176968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-58646655665840264222015-05-01T09:10:11.208-07:002015-05-01T09:10:11.208-07:00I wouldn't have read a book on this subject if...I wouldn't have read a book on this subject if it was a non-fiction book either.
