this is in response to your question in the header btw.

its not a bad first 'real book' it is most peoples high school lit book anyway and reason is p much summed up by the only thing that worries me is shitty ignorant but politically charged retards fumbling around misquoting it and basing their entire life around the sparknotes analysis while the trend lasts

This has already been happening for the last like 4 years. I don't even know how it could get any worse at this point.
