Bought "The Essential Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson."
841 pages of Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Do you have any idea what this means?
Go online - read just a little of this man's writing. Get a taste.
It is intellectual. It inspires. It challenges one's beliefs and forces one to think.
My brain is beat down like a railroad spike, man. Barely functions.
I get by like Chauncey Gardner in "Being There."
Now, all of a sudden, this book is sitting next to my recliner waiting to be absorbed.
Exuding intelligence.
I am going to have to bite the bullet and chow it down. But I think it will have to be bit by bit. Essay by essay.
If I tried to read it sequentially, start to finish, my brain would burst.
Still I am cautiously excited at the opportunity.
The opportunity to learn and expand.
Who knows. Once I plow through this extravaganza, I might come out the other end a smart man.
Smart is what I need.
