Canceled, back in two weeks. Johnathan

The one time I hurled a book across the room was quite involuntary. I was a teenager, reading a scary novel in bed. My bed was situated halfway along the wall, with a floor lamp behind the headboard that was pointed over the headboard my way, which gave me much more light to read by than the...
