A book I'll probably have to read

forsythIf you don't play Magic, don't worry about this, it won't matter much to you.
But apparently, there's a book coming out about Jon Finkel. I never met Finkel, even on IRC, and I'm sure there's plenty of moments that'll make anybody who's played Magic wince, but still.
Though I have to admit the marketoid-speak on that page makes me not want to. But that's not the author's fault, marketoids do that. To everything. Marketoids can make anything sound as unappealing as "Thrilling, edgy, and ferociously feel-good, the odyssey of these underdogs-turned-overlords is the stuff of pop-culture legend. And David Kushner, acclaimed author of Masters of Doom, masterfully deals out the outrageous details while bringing to life a cast of characters rife with aces, kings, knaves . . . and more than a few jokers. If you secretly believe every player has his day, you’re right. Here’s the proof. "
