    That is pretty effervescent in my book. Or more like that is what it was the last time my book and I saw each other on that mountain peak that one crazy afternoon in winter. A man and his book, warm and cozy inside an ice weather tent. Keeping each other's backsides warm by friction.

    It must have been some easily ignited book binding or adhesive. Either way, the book ignited into flames and released the demon that friction created.
