There’s so much to learn out there in the world, so many books out of print. Yet, if there are only corporations that invest in only the shiny and pretty new releases, how are we to ever learn from the wise? How would we remember the past?

I’ve also finally kicked myself in the ass and put my bookmark in War and Peace. After I peruse this old censorship pamphlet (from 1978), I will be ignoring most of the world to begin my first journey with the late and great Leo Tolstoy.
