I knew I was never going to be a truly advanced, modern, well-rounded person when two books every modern, advanced, highly social and well-rounded person must read and adore did absolutely nothing for me. One was "Fear and Loathing" (writing style is awful, story is not compelling), and the other one was "Zen and Motorcycle" (an awful lot of words to complain about a schizophrenic father).
Still made Captain.
