"sounds nuts" is an understatement. Despite speculation of it's validity, it's a real wake-up a call. Definitely shook my whole outlook on morality and consequence. Also has you question the downside to infinite possibility. A must read for the open and curious minded.

There's no hidden agenda here, it's simply a mind blowing book.

Whoever said Kiterunner, my nigga.

Want somethin you're gonna have to try hard to wrap your head around, look for Milan Kundera's The Unbearable Lightness of Being. If you can't find that try for The Joke or The Book of Laughter and Forgetting.

If you want something easier to read, that's more of a story and less a series of metaphorical insights into human nature, you can try Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses for a fun and unusual read.
