This analysis book was published in 1970. At some point in its life before I purchased it last summer (a life which spanned 18 years before I was even born, by the way), it was owned by someone who read every page, and wrote enthusiastic comments in the margins next to particularly thrilling conclusions to proofs. I love this subject, and I share every sentiment with this unknown stranger. I too love the drama of confusion and the triumph of understanding, and I love sharing that experience with this person with whom I have a rare and important commonality. Wherever you are book-commenting analysis enthusiast, I think the world of you. I hope you have a happy life full of abstract mathematics.
