@mister_duva Because it is a well written book that introduced me to a people, culture and civilization that enriched my life forever through their excruciatingly beautiful and logical language.

@GordoRabinowitz I loved it so much my mom destroyed it deliberately so she would never have to read it again.

“Do you like my hat?”
“I do not.”

The raw honesty of canine interlocutors was spell binding.

And that fasciliated the dog party in the tree which, w/o honesty, would be impossible.;-)
