I, personally, skipped all the sonnets at the beginning when I was reading Don Quixote at the first time, although I did read the ones at the end, and I liked those. I might read these ones at the beginning this time around, maybe.

Naw man skip them, maybe read them after you have read the book, or when you feel like reading some poetry. There is an entire chapter in there too that is a poem, I skipped that as well on my first read.

Take the welfare pill. I got hurt on my job and got disability and unemployment, it opened my eyes to all the free money out there. I own a few rental properties as well, but even if I didn't the government money is enough to live well and save. I make sick money doing nothing with both of these things combined though. Just talk to local agencies and they'll tell you all these potential benefits, even if you make 80+k you can be eligible for some stuff, it's insane

Just one, but since then have been able to get more and have the time to actually do so. More time for hobbies, reading, family as well. There's so much time in the day that escapes us because we're wage slaves.
