My best friend is the man who'll get me a book I ain't read.

A short post before I have to go to work. While I was going through the top news stories I found this article a page or two in.

Reading this made me ill. First off take a guess who's paying for those books the Pentagon just destroyed. You and me. We had the unfortunate pleasure of buying ten thousand books and we didn't even get to see them.
I hope that the author releases the first edition online so the people that paid for the books can actually read it. Forget national security; the Pentagon, the Army and the Department of Defense, they're trying to cover their asses.

The things I want to know are in books; my best friend is the man who'll get me a book I ain't read.

I am mortified to be told that, in the United States of America, the sale of a book can become a subject of inquiry, and of criminal inquiry too.
