Well, I finished it. Ugh. I didn't enjoy it and I come away from it feeling I have been through a chronic sickness. But I stuck with it because I felt I had put so much time into reading it that I had to tough it out and finish it.

This is "The Essential Ellison." I had thought essential meant something like Ellison's best. Was I ever wrong. In this work essential means the essence of Harlan Ellison the man and while he has some admirable principles his negative qualities as a human being are bent and quite disheartening and more than offset those.

I wish I had never started reading this book.
