Last week I ordered an insane number of books. (People who sent me Amazon gift certificates for Christmas: YOU WIN.

I strongly suggest downloading the PDF from the link he provides, and reading it. Right now. (Or, you know. Soon.) Here’s my notes redux… You don’t have to do what other people say [...]
