The edge of Ideas. The edge of Connections. The edge of the Unknown. And... in 2020... reading my way (again) through a hefty list of World-Changing books.

Another Chapter in the Chapters Saga
Yes... I went back to Chapters today and used my gift cards two more times (two more batches of over $50)... I have to admit I love the ambience in Chapters... any bookstore really, but Chapters has the added bonus of having a Starbucks. Nothing better than sipping a hot chocolate (with whipped cream and chocolate syrup) and having a stack of potential book buys stacked next to me... There is something deliciously decadent in being able to do that. I found a few more books... surprise!! Five of them in total and only 1 of them is a gift... at this point. They could all become gifts at some point. One of them is a non-fiction about a guy who decided to read the entire Encylopedia Brittanica (14 volumes - 65,000 articles, 33,000 pages) from cover to cover... He spent $1400 on the 2002 set and then started reading... Took him 2 weeks to get through the letter A... That was the book I read while I drank my hot chocolate... sounds interesting!! I can't imagine trying to read all that tiny print and all those paper thin pages!!! Mind you, I do read a lot... but that... nope, not my alley...
