The Kindle cost isn’t the issue. It’s the time in your life you don’t get back. I’m working my way through a 42’ long hallway of books on both sides, turning the books on their sides as I read them again and piling up the ones to give away when I can’t make it to the end.

Though he WAS proud of his Scottish origins. I’ve been working with researchers at Vassar and Auckland for 17 years to prove he wrote Night Before Christmas.
