But Reed has a story of his own and wants a relationship based on trust and respect, not looks and protein powders. Henry initially doesn’t feel good enough for Reed. He barely pays attention to any of Reed’s *ahem* many assets. But Henry isn’t ready to date, nope, not at all. Reed is gentle, encouraging, and looks like Thor. Thank goodness for Reed, Henry’s personal trainer, who takes a very, well, personal interest in Henry. But I was proud of him for not giving up, and he grew on me as the story progressed.

To support the idea of the minimal state, Nozick presents an argument that illustrates how the minimalist state arises naturally from anarchy and how any expansion of state power past this minimalist threshold is unjustified. In opposition to A Theory of Justice (1971) by John Rawls, and in debate with Michael Walzer, Robert Nozick argues in Anarchy, State, and Utopia in favor of a minimal state, "limited to the narrow functions of protection against force, theft, fraud, enforcement of contracts, and so on." When a state takes on more responsibilities than these, Nozick argues, rights will be violated. Signed first editions are exceptionally rare this is the first example we have seen or handled.
