Notes First Post

As soon as I opened the book I discovered that Mr. Shapiro was not joking: this would be the hardest book of the year. The reason why I feel that it is, is because of the authors elusive contradictories. For example, he said he was superstitious, but too educated to be superstitious yet he was. However, from what I have read so far I believe that he is trying to convey one specific message across: do not confr to the norm and be different. He continualy describes how he thinks for himself and how his opinions do not coincide with others.
