Yes.

Well, if we're making requests, as much as I love coffee in Louisville, can we meet in Charleston, Cheryl?

Because that is one of my favorite cities.

My husband and I lived there for a few years, and I have a really fond place in my heart for Charleston.

I think about what one of our book club authors said in the title of his book, that by reading the classics, we are able to break bread with the dead.

And I don't think that was unique to him.

I think he was quoting a classical writer whose name has escaped me.

But I think that's amazing that we can converse not just with the people that we know and not just with the people that are writing books in our time, but with all of humanity.

It's one of the things that I love about reading classics.

One of the things that always strikes me when I read a classic is this can sound very heady and it is beautiful.

I love it.

I think we're the same in that way, Cheryl.

But one of the things that always strikes me is people are people.

Humans are humans.

I'm I thrill when there is this little snippet of human nature that I think, oh, yeah, I saw that last week with the guy on the bus beside me on TikTok, you know, here in my modern city.

people are the same throughout history.

And so it's always so fun to discover how human nature changes, but how much it stays the same.

And in that way, they are so accessible.

We could probably give her another 52, like the Ann and Ginger list.

Don't do that yet.
