You know considering it was my email that started the whole ordeal I must say this is kinda ridiculous. I put "Newest book" in the title. that alone should be read with great care if you HAVEN"T READ THE NEWEST BOOK. I mean come on. How could you not want to discuss the newest book? It was great but I mentioned something about it and this all blew up. Come on, if you hadn't read it you shouldn't have read the email, to me that's what makes sense. You don't look at stuff you don't want to know about. The title alone should have been considered the spoiler alert.
