It really is an excellent read! It's not a new publication, so it's possible your library has it -- I purchased it used from Powell's Books.

I am certainly hoping for no side effects, or at least mild SEs. I'm handling this the same way I started radiation -- by putting my foot down and saying "Now see here, body, you are NOT going to act up with this treatment."

... well, it worked with the rads. ;-D
