When the book was released...

I was driving tractor in the fields... 6am to 8pm. During a quick lunch break I bought the novel.. started reading it on the tractor... got home that evening after work and kept reading.. finished about dawn, or the time I got back on the tractor. So no sleep, but it was worth it.

Kind of odd: I have re-read about every novel that I ever 'loved'. some of them several times... but not "The Exorcist"... and I don't know why.
