I had been following Andrew's twitter feed for a short while and kept saying to myself, "I need to read his book..." I downloaded the Kindle version last night ($5 more than it was just a week ago) and stayed up until 3 am reading it. His "epiphany" pretty much mimics my own, except his first revelation came with the Clarence Thomas hearings.

My first inkling that something wasn't quite right was when Monica Lewinsky was being excoriated as a "dangerous, unstable stalker." Something just clicked in my brain at the moment I heard that coming from the media. "Really? A stalker? A stalker? With all the secret service and security around the man, they can't keep a 21-year-old sorority girl with a crush from stalking him?" For me, that was the first peek behind the Wizard's curtain.

We're the same age and I really wish I could have met him. Would have loved to sit down and dissect Robert Smith's lyrics or critiqued John Doe's performance in "Roadhouse" over a few beers.
