I can thoroughly relate. I'm one of the 1% - but mostly because I can be pigheaded about some things. I read it because it's a classic and I wanted to be able to tell myself that I had, in fact, read it. There are a couple of really great quotes in there (you will notice if your eyes haven't glazed over as you read), but you've probably heard them recited elsewhere and don't need the book.
