The book was actually given to me by my high school teacher because he thought I would like it. He was always pushing me into an english degree, sort of wish I would have listened to him more. My family thought he was crazy for suggesting that, since english had always been my worst subject. I wish he had been more clear at the time or maybe I was just thick headed. It was my worst subject because I was bored, something I now realize. That was why he kept giving me reading suggestions, free space to change things and pushing me to write. Something I am trying to do more of now.
