SSSSAAAAVVVVVOOOUUURRRRRRRRRRRR every single word like it was my wife 
on our honeymoon.   That is how I will read the book.

I will also only read it when I am sitting in my favourite chair with 
a large mug of my favorite papaver tea sipping it as slowly as I 
savour the words that spill forth from the pages.   AAAAAhhhhhh.
