Saturday Special: Harlan Ellison Edition

Yes, I do realize that I am breaking convention and posting fiction books two days in a row, but today's book is very special.  For those who don't know me, or haven't heard me mention it before, Harlan Ellison is a hero of mine.  I love the man and his work.  If you don't know about him, please do yourself a favor and do the homework.  He is Mark Twain and Jiminy Cricket combined.  He is a national treasure.
