I'll take it upon myself to arrive fashionably late.

My library completely ignored my hold request. I did a search for random things and wanted to know where the book was. Turns out it was at my branch on the shelf. I really shouldn't complain in the hundreds of books I've requested this has happened twice.

The book was a slow starter for me, but once I got to around page forty it had me. The middle and end sections were brilliant. I really liked the passage with respect to people and how our initial dealings set the tone for all other interactions. I can't quote it right now as the book is not around, but I marked it on page 59 in the edition I read.
