First I read Libra, then Mao II, then White Noise, then Zero K. Now I’m onto Underworld, a little more than a quarter of the way through, and I fucking love it. But here’s the problem. My dog ate my first copy. And the binding split on the second copy. What does it mean? I need to write Don himself and ask! See pictures for proof!

If your copy is literal garbage the book is 25 percent more poignant.
