>>733835
I was interrested in the contents of the book so I read a summary. I know that there is a lot more to a book than a story and the fact that I have 'spoiled' myself may not even have a great effect on my reading experience But I have a lot other stuff to do so yeah. Sorry that I'm a cancer killing humanity.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 31 15:39:56 2010 No.733859 >>733830 You mean that he turns into a bug? That happens before the book starts. Besides, the story itself isn't why the book is so important.
