At least it has pages.

It's an empty space on a bookshelf, actually.

I;m still terribly amused that 4'33" is 99¢ on iTunes.

A lot of great stuff there. On the Beach in particular would probably be on my list as well.

I had a really hard time getting through the final chapter because I had tears in my eyes and running down my face through most of it.

Have you seen the 1959 film adaption?

Considering how old it is, yes. Captures the desperation and impending doom really well. Fred Astaire plays the scientist and it was his first dramatic role. He nails the part. The only miss-step is they cast an older Eva Garner in the lead role. Once you get past that she's great acting opposite Gregory Peck.

Check it out and let me know what you think. The ending scene will give you goosebumps.
