Ha ha, so do I. I keep a leather bound copy under my side of the bed (right next to Emily Dickinson and Fangles' translations of Homer), I'll pick it up and just read bits from whatever page I turned to before going to bed sometimes. Every now and then I will talk my wife into letting me read some to her out loud to let her hear why it is so great, and every time I do she falls asleep in just a few minutes, bores the shit out of her. To each their own.
