RIP in peace Laurence.

I bawled like a baby when I was a kid and read some ghost story. Something like
>A white sillhouette was sitting on the bed
And I exploded in panicked tears in a public library

>even if I read a hundred pages a day, it'll take me twenty years to read the entire canon
>forty years if interspersed with non-fiction
>by which time the opportunities in which to apply my wisdom will have long passed
I think it's time to drop everything and adopt the literary lifestyle.
