How I Owned Huxley...

...Via complete insanity...

It is clear to me that I often fail to exhibit the internal mechanism that prevents my fellow humans from acting upon the various innocent, but wholly irrational, thoughts that come upon them.

Via a quick phone call, I was informed that “Hole in the Wall Books” had in stock a copy of Huxley's Brave New World.

Allow us to consider a few facts. I have no vehicle. “Hole in the Wall Books” now closed within an half an hour of the moment I had completed contemplation concerning this decision, and I had already ran a six mile trek earlier in the day.

In any case, I quickly changed from jeans to shorts, and laced on my rapidly becoming overly worn tennis shoes. I had this journey now in front of me:

I am now a proud new owner of two things:

1. This blister:

   

2. Aldous Huxley's Brave New World:
