Two of my favorite things.

You are one book that I simply love to read.
A solid, stylish text, full of genuinely good humor,
Seductive, subtle, full of scholarly style and wit,
Containing countless subjects of interest to me,
Punctuated with charming, high-voltage zest.
I love seeing unexpected treats like these.
Taut with passion and fire, wide-ranging
And laid out for me with narrative skill.
You are strangely hypnotic, an adventure
For the ages, with a wide range of appeal.

I cannot put you down.

I must unbutton, unzip, and loosen
This still-evolving story.

You are now required reading.
