I wonder if the book gets smaller and smaller with each new edition? ;)

Yea, I probably won't read it.  I'm afraid I find her and her taste in books pretty boring,   although I know she has lots of admirers.  There's a tell-all book about her out there somewhere that a friend urged me to read but I wasn't interested enough to do so.

WINNER    The Grand Prize goes to PatH    WINNER

I like the title; it has the distinction of not having a single letter in the title repeated. I've always thought I missed something by not reading the book.

Yes, having all the letters not repeated in the title made for a good puzzle, Frybabe.  I've never read it.
