I love me some head up my arse reading matter as much as the next man, but i also read myself some derivative shit from time to time. I'm assuming that people do the same, although it seems poorly represented in these threads on some outdo the next man type steez. Too lazy to hyphenate my little turns of phrase there.b, 21b, 21edit: i should also add i have actually gone n bought retail more than a few books based on recommendations in these threads, your classic material jernt many years ago being one of them.

I hope people are posting books that they think other board members might find interesting.

font class="post"1b,121b, 21I have the unedited version sitting in my to read pile. I read the OG many years ago, I wonder if I'll even notice the differences.

SmallAxeRick

There isn't much of a difference. If you haven't read it in a long time you most likely won't notice anything.b, 21Definitely worth the reread, though.
