About this site
This site is a little project that lets me make fun of some things and sense of others. I use it to think a little more relationally without resorting to doing actual math.

I should send this one to my Grandpa. He’s an avid reader (like me) and the person I go to when I need advice.

Since each of us defines “wisdom” and “great books” differently and independent of one another, this stands up pretty well; those which we’d consider books of wisdom may be what another considers trash, but that makes them no less valuable to those who agree with or adhere to the wisdom within.

Makes me feel a little better about all the wrinkles. Nah, not really.

Some of the most inspiring books I’ve read are children’s books.
The Giving Tree, and Le Petit Prince come to mind.
