I was forced to read “Great Expectations” which is infinitely more horrible than Oliver Twist. Great Exp. made me hate school and my teacher and was very cautious about Dickens after that.

@@@@@@

Growing up a military brat we always moved when my classes were studying the classics. Billy Budd x 5 but no Shakespeare...

While traveling I would read Louis L’amour and Kurt Vonnegut instead. Strange mix, but keeps the brain working!

America needs a new cultural awakening by moving back to our Judeo-Christian roots.

Stay true to the faith that God gives, He is still on the Throne!
