Once upon a time, long, long ago (2001) a young girl was smitten with great passion for a young man named Kissy-face. Christmas was quickly arriving and she was out of ideas for the perfect gift that would convey her undying love. Kissy-face had always wanted a "real library" consisting of real leather-bound books and one day the young girl stumbled upon a catalog from a company called "Easton Press" that offered such a gift. With much haste, the young girl ordered the collection "The 100 Greatest Books Ever Written", thinking only of her passionate love for Kissy-face. "Imagine the excitement of Christmas Day when Kissy-face opens his present (Moby Dick)," she pondered. "And with one book arriving each month, Kissy will know just how much I love him for 8.33 years!"
8.33 years later (March 2009) the last and final book of the series (Gulliver's Travels) arrived. Kissy-face was so excited that he beamed with such joy that he looked like a 1st grader who just received a reward for perfect attendance (minus the cigarette)!
Isn't love grand?!
