Happy Sunday ! Sometimes when I read your posts my response is delayed due to other shit. The other day it was about a book that you had explored and it sounded quite interesting so I wrote a note to respond. Especially after Shakespeare was mentioned as I have The Library Shakespeare, which is over 1500 pages long and weighs 13 lbs. I attempted to read this last year but couldn't hold it, way too heavy. There is a book mark at page 5, not far enough to get into it. What a fat book. Then when I went to respond the note was gone. I just found it under my desk slightly chewed up by my dog. Must have have spaghetti sauce on it or something ? Enough bullshit from me, have a happy industrious week !!!
