Irving would have been an Indiana farmer had not his mother filled out and sent in a college application for her genius son.

Steve, Irving's childhood friend and college roommate, who struggles to overcome dyslexia, was one of the few to witness Irving's peculiar and extraordinary habits. A quick reading book with many widely interesting stories.
