The Razor's Edge →
Easily my favorite book, beating So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish and Moonraker by a mile. I ran into it in my early teens, when other turdsnappers my age were digging into The Catcher in the…

But thinking and living with the delusion that others have to have less just so that you can have more is precisely...

Works like a charm. OTA sync for contacts and calendars, easy as pie.
