Google the table of contents, and you'll find virtually every story in this dreadful amalgamation of sequential non-sequitors somewhere online. Then again, don't and save yourself the eyestrain and nausea. Spare yourself the horror of first lines that not even the Bulwer-Lytton contest judges could stomach. Avoid the incomprehensible syntax, the superfluous verbiage, the repetitive and redundent tautologies that constitute the endless and pointless drivel that is this book. If someone gives it to you as a present, sever all contact with that person, regardless of the closeness of your former relationship, for your presenter obviously wishes you ill.
