You made me look back and I think it was gruseom from the thread Surprisingly undervalued books

Yippee!


Hah, wow, now I can thank you in person! Thanks to your well written comment I read the book, learned to move and dance, fell in love, got amazing friends, went skinny dipping with beautiful dancers in the summer, got heartbroken, learned to accept change, and started developing objects that behave and choreograph the user through their behavior.

And all for the want of a nail..

Thank you!


You're welcome. It's delightful that you did all that with it.


What order did all that shit happen in, exactly?

Y'know. For a friend.


It was just as much about loss as it was about the good things. Go write your own story!


Few things pull a genuine smile from me. Peace and prosperity, my friend.


Oh, ok. I guess there are a lot of "favorite book" threads.
