The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester
Any copy I've seen looks like a romance novel, featuring two characters staring into each other's eyes.
In reality it's a Science Fiction book about human evolution and the government trying to weaponize it.
EDIT: My memory was a bit off. They aren't staring into each other's eyes...the man is behind the woman in a spooning kind of pose, and they both have their eyes closed as if they're about to start making out. It was worse than I remembered.
The book is like a far out, sci-fi action movie with depth and meaning and is great.

I get your joke, but people called Dick are actually named Richard, so...

It is a bit much. I know a Karen and she's a great person but her life has changed over the past few years. Her name has become a real bane to her, and it's weird to me that is her new reality.
To me, "Karen" has just become a PC way of calling a woman a bitch...people say "look at this Karen" and things like that. It's so obviously just a substitute word that has become socially acceptable, because people love running jokes into the ground.

Another weird "in my hometown" post...why not go all the way, throw caution to the wind and name the town?

That team was stacked and is still seriously underrated.

Drunk, couldn't find a washroom or didn't like what was going on in the washroom he found, and decided to just piss in the water...I'd love to see a picture of the boat so I could find the spot he fell from using my trying to piss theory.

They had a few hit songs even in North America. Richard Ashcroft is still doing his thing currently.

It's just sad. It won't be funny when she doesn't remember who you are anymore or where or even who she is.
I'm not trying to be mean, I've been through/am going through it. It's not fun.
