seven types of amazing

i've got a serious addiction to Half.com right now. it's gotten to the point where there is at least one book in my mailbox every day. yesterday, Seven Types of Ambiguity by Elliot Pearlman showed up and i'm in love. this opening quote sealed the deal:

God has pity on kindergarten children.
He has less pity on school children.
And on grownups he has no pity at all,
he leaves them alone
and sometimes they must crawl on all fours.

if that doesn't knock the wind out of you, i don't know what will.
