Pickled Gnomish Delights

So this book was a massive bestseller at least in Asia. Which makes me wonder, how many late twenties early thirties people, after reading this book decided to get in touch with their elementary school crush. Only the awkward ones would go through with it though, which is for the best. They are probably sitting in a coffee shop listening to bossa nova talking about their boring office jobs but feeling awesome nonetheless. Ah, the power of fiction. Were you a fiction inspired spawn?
