Wow. I've actually never seen any copies of Bio of a Space Tyrant other than the ones I read as a 13-year-old, and no one has ever spoken of them before, so some corner of my brain was starting to wonder if I had hallucinated the whole thing.

Because those books just seem improbable, don't they? Improbable to be written, improbable to be published, improbable to end up in the hands of a kid in a small town in the Deep South...

...improbable to be (re)read by a real live adult.
