Congratulations on the big victory!

I still have all my ebooks in my hard drive.

For me it's different, though, I NEED them.

Just kidding, I don't really need them. In fact, I long for the day I read from the Big Book of Nature.

It could be any time.

But I choose to postpone it.

To build up knowledge,

to learn all I could learn about the world:

A bit of history,

a number of languages,

something or other here and there.

I quite like reading, I have a number of books that I ABSOLUTELY will read.

I am engaging in a study of magic

mysticism

alchemy.

I know it won't last forever.

The day will come when I will be ready to do away with all those books, and then I will just have a few books, those books that shall be good for a lifetime.

I will BUY them in paperback. I will cherish their physical form.

And I won't be needing any screen.

I won't be needing any screen.

For the time being, I appreciate the immateriality of ebooks, the huge library of background knowledge which will coalesce in the back of my mind. I learn to unlearn all that I was fed from childhood.

All those ideas about liberalism

of money

of modernity

Whatever the fuck. One has to read a lot to shed those dying shells of ideas.

Knowledge is all I seek, it's the only kind of wealth I know of.

That and the wealth of Nature.

Sorry for copying your style, wolf. Somehow, it sticks.

having hall's secret teachings of all ages in print

much more satisfying

i want one of the early

musty and old

hardcover editions

in fact it's going to be fun searching for

old occult booka in print

like some sort of nick cage

sneakibg into secret society libraries

(more likely some

frail old man's disorganized

hole in the wall bookshop)

I propose we all start referring to that style as "wolfing it"!

On words and syntax

Form and prose

Perhaps a poet corner

A backroom of the pub, half open and separated by half bar

A new wing

Past the pool table middle rooms

Before the EXIT to cat-filled alley

A few seats and small tables

Soft, gentle smoke gliding through the air

Exhaling relief of/from the world

To have espresso or a heavier beverage

An homage to Horace

Making words for expression and wisdom
