A friend of mine has a book that provides summaries of all the greatest novels. Each books' summary can be read, well, in one sitting. The sports page is also common reading. My new home has something of the former adorning its walls. The previous owner, who gets major points for being clever here while having them deducted because of the location of the hot-tub filled gazebo, decided to paste pages of exceptional authors' works on the walls. All within plain sight. All easy to read. It's a rather ingenious idea, to post authors like Faulkner, Spinoza, Shakespeare, Bacon, Whitman, et al on the walls. And suddenly, these walls can talk.
I'm not sure where I'll start. On which wall. But I know I'll look forward to those chances I'll get to, well, sit and think. I'm just not sure how to reference them in footnotes on my graduate papers.

A great guy with alot of very helpfull information.
That's awesome. My grandparents had wallpaper that looked like that in their bathroom. The difference is that the ones they had were prints from olde-timey papers. It was interesting to read some of the stories though, even if you only got part of it because everything was overlapping.
Excellent news about the house. You can all now contribute to the Global warming fraud and use the newspapers as a 1 square TP family.
