So I'm glad you got to be a part of that.

Oh, my gosh.

If you can read the Russians, I think you can handle Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

One thing that I struggle with, with my love of classics and an increasing desire to read

the best and that could be across any genre like I want to read I don't read a lot of say fantasy it's just not my go-to comfort genre but I want to read the two or three best ones that my fantasy loving friends have read throughout the year or a romance novel or some of the genres that just don't happen to be in my personal comfort zone and so I don't always know how to

balance that, that I keep standards without snobbery so that, you know, it's, it's a really hard thing that you do encounter when you are trying to go after the best.

But yet you don't want to, as I think our team member, Lee always reminds us, don't yuck someone else's yum.

It's just not my yum.

I think you put that beautifully.

Yes.

I'm so excited to do the otters.

My mind is going in a million directions, but I think I have the three for you.

I'm going to start off and give you the two that I'm more sure of, and then I'm going to give you a little choose your own adventure.

But the way I structured this in my mind, I love your metaphors about going down a road.

The way that my mind usually thinks about

books that add to each other in conversation are hooks.

So I remember the very first time in this great books program that I'm in, that I came across a reference in another writer's work to clear and distinct, which is such a Descartes or a Cartesian as I've learned phrase that I thought, Oh,

he's explicitly referencing so-and-so.

And so I always think that now I can put that pot on that hook.

Then I can fill that pot with more stuff.
