But I just remembered that my first copy was retrieved, stripped of  
its cover, from the trashcan of Campus Texbook Exchange in 1979, a  
place Oedipa may have seen from Sproul Plaza in 1964, but defunct  
since the mid-eighties.

It's like original sin, the first bite of the apple turns out to be  
the most illegal.
