There are few things in life that are truly beautiful, but with luck and a little effort you may get to experience at least one of them in a lifetime. I have been graced with a stunning piece of modern literature, first in hard copy – the result of a chance meeting with a stranger – which I read with open-mouthed incredulity; and now in electronic form, which I am now able to make available to anyone, for a limited time.
There are two conditions, though, which I am sure I can trust you to stick to:
1) Read it with an open mind and let it do whatever it does to you. Be cynical, be disgusted, be curious, it’s your head.
2) Pass the link on, but be selective, because my ISP isn’t going to be terribly happy if 100,000 people try to download a 13MB file!
That’s it. Anything else you decide to do as a result of reading it is up to you.

N.B. Document is in Word due to the very specific formatting – you will understand when you read it.
Link doesn’t seem to work.
Copy the entire URL into your browser address bar and it will work.
Keith – you can drastically cut down the size of this document by converting it to PDF.
Link fixed, thanks.
Adobe ruins the formatting – I did try a couple of times :-(
Thanks for the kind words, Keith – and sorry about the whole bandwidth-busting .doc thing. If anyone would like to read this bugger as ink-on-paper, email me (JLyte777@hotmail.com) an address before October 20th and I’ll be happy to send you a copy.
