“So many books; so little time.”
And so little space in my cramped old farmhouse to STORE them all. I’ve had to resort to boxing the least interesting ones up and taking them to my lockup. Then of course I want one of them, and I buy a new copy rather than dig through the boxes.... So it goes.
Yes, I like Mencken. I’m on the fence about calling him a journalist, because he published everything as soon as he wrote it. But I roundly approve of his opinions.
I just this week had my yearly eye exam. Thank God they’re still good, even as the rest of me falls apart. If I can’t read I’ll be suicidal in a week.
But you'll off FR - like pre-2020. One less Uke harpy stinking up the board.
Win-win.

As he progressed in his career he wrote editorials and opinion pieces for the Baltimore Sun, for one thing. That’s journalism, not reporting.
Good luck with your eyes.
