Call me crazy, but I get the feeling you sort of have a thing for Jaws.

What makes you think that?

(P.S. From Vietnam to Reagan counts as a Jaws book, too.)

You have to see "Doom Generation" before you read Wood's essay on it. Believe me. ;-)

Good timing -- the book just arrived today! Will do, tho.

Mr. auto_matt_ic... why do you hate the Kza? :-)

What is a "B-O-O-K"?
