<p>Hi Cory,</p>
<p>My copy of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">A Humument</span> just showed up -- the fifth edition. My first impression is that it's a captivating book with lots of surreal or maybe Dada-esque moments. I don't think I'll be able to go through it page-by-page, however.<br></br>I'm eager to hear what you think of it.</p>

<p>Hi Ken,</p>
<p>Yes, I finished a few days ago. It was pretty much the same the rest of the way through, though I was/am still interested in Mrs. D's life. Mostly it makes me want to see the 985 collages in person. I don't, however, think I'll be seeking out any more of the author's work to read.<br></br> <br></br> <cite>ken coleman said:…</cite></p>
