Listened to the audio book after hearing I ought to read it from many different place, most compellingly, Jairus Grove. It was so good I had to listen to something else before bed because otherwise I'd get too excited and stay up. I wouldn't say I agree with Halberstam on a lot of his psychoanalytic arguments as I find them hard to substantiate, but it's very worth the read regardless since there is a lot more to the book.
