I'm in the midst of building a bona fide Library to my house in California. Since the building takes time...a lot of time, I got a jump on the acquisition of hard cover books of ALL genre.
I FEEL smarter when I read. Perhaps I'm not, but not many will argue the point with me since now, I not only speak in movie quotes and sarcasm, I might chuck out a phrase that I just picked up like "one need to have a comprehensive character" as stated by Henry David Thoreau.
That phrase when interjected in a conversation with a disagreeable bloke, often catches the unsuspecting combative off guard and stymied to the point of speechlessness. WIN!
From the journal of Henry David Thoreau for this date in 1852:
