A snarky question to answer those who don't think you can step up to the challenge--your answer here being, in so many words, You might want to stand back.

“I’m gonna read a book. From beginning to end. In that order.”
(another Seinfeld-in-culture note to readers before you read on to more Seinfeld-isms below) It was one of George's aims, the above comment, in the "summer of George."
