You should read it.

  1. I just finished the Mark Waid essay on why Superman saves the world time and time again out of SELF-INTEREST, and I'm hooked.

    Actually, at the risk of being blatantly self-promotional, I'm going to be running a Q&A with Tom Morris, the guy who edited this book, on my blog in a week or two -- I'll shoot you an email when it goes live, Scipio!

  2. I'll have to pick this up next paycheck. I think I've spent my next paycheck two times over saying stuff like that.
