Did I like this book? What would you think if I told you there was a book written entirely in questions? Do you think you would like it? Why do you think I'm recommending it? Do you think four stars is a good rating for a book? Do you prefer black beans, pinto beans, or no beans on your Chipotle chicken burrito? Do you even order a chicken burrito when you go to Chipotle? Do you even like Chipotle? Where do you like to eat? Do you want to get lunch together? If I told you that I had truly enjoyed this book, that I found it to be a wonderful experience, and one which I will treasure, would you be more or less inclined to read it? Should I stop talking now?

Coca Cola (The Interrogative Mood)
Do you wonder why if there is, say, vanilla Coke and cherry Coke, and if the global market is the thing, why there is not, say nutmeg Coke and cumin Coke and anise Coke and garlic Coke and sauerbraten Coke and horseradish Coke and chili Coke and coconut Coke and lemongrass Coke? Have you lost your mind?
