I bought this book in a convenience store or grocery store back in the mid to late eighties. I was on Freewheel with my dad and we were camping in some small town in rural Oklahoma, so I had some time to kill. This was a really good book and I highly recommend it. The main thing I remember about it is that it educated me about something that I had never heard about before: Absinthe. Anyway a few years back, I was flipping through the channels on TV and an interesting movie was on. A lot of it seemed familiar. They went to a commercial and when they came back they mentioned the name of the movie. That's when I learned that this book had been adapted into a film in 1997. I didn't watch the whole thing, but I'd like to someday. So once again, awesome book, it has a talking vase, and Amazon has hardback copies for a penny.
