I don't think I need to edit it again. I just noticed that near the beginning I had switched what I said but didn't fix one of the two verbs, so I had a past tense and a gerund paired, and then later on I had said "sexual obsession with the girl he had sex with" essentially, so I changed it to "erotic obsession". I think that being a transactional lawyer makes me want to be extremely precise with words when I write something more formally than as a simple response or post (i.e., a review).
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

I found it! And it only took me five or six meticulous rereads of your post. *NM*

I really need to reread that. I mostly remember loving the library.
