A treasure gathering dust.

Fourteen years ago, while searching for term paper quotes, I came across a previous edition of this book in the stacks of the college library. The lengthy title whet my appetite and I took it home. Not only did I glean a quote and ace the paper; the contents became my life trumpet as I sought to headstand my way through our upside down culture. One of the most poignant aspects of the experience was on the book's dust cover where the due date was stamped. It revealed that the book had not been checked out for over seven years. This was a striking example of the author's premise that no one cared to even explore where the "I/me" approach to life might be wrong. Hidden in the dusty shelves was a treasure that is still relevant today.
