They&#8217;ve condensed that 468-page book into a three-page summary mainly by leaving out the phone calls and plane rides. And while they were at it, they&#8217;ve provided a few revisions and additions to the plot of Book 1. This summary diverges from the actual book enough that it might have been better titled &quot;What I Meant to Have Gone Before,&quot; or &quot;What Would Have Gone Before If I&#8217;d Bothered With Even a Cursory Rewrite After Rattling Off a Rough Draft and Sending It to the Publisher.&quot;&quot;<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/politics\">politics<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/stupid\">stupid<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/religion\">religion<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/books\">books<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/slacktivist\">slacktivist<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/weblogs.swarthmore.edu\/burke\/?p=724\">Grades \u00c2\u00ab Easily Distracted<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">&quot;My personal sensibility shifts a bit from year to year.
