I see there's a few used copies of this one selling for a penny - and rightly so in my opinion. Keeping in mind that I am NOT fanatical about Miller, I say with no doubt that this is quite possibly the most boring book I have ever read - and I love to read. I had to read it for a class, and it was utter torture - so long and drawn out. Beyond boring.On the other hand, if you ARE a fan of Miller, you'll likely love the book. He wrote 600+ pages on himself, so it's all pretty much in there and in fine detail. And he does deserve respect as a writer.
