“I am not what you call a civilized man! I have done with society entirely, for reasons which I alone have the right of appreciating. I do not therefore Obey its laws, and I desire you never to allude to them before me again.” Captain Nemo (20,000 leagues under the sea by Jules Verne)

Just back from work, I hate that job so much but its cash in my pocket until my next job starts also was on the train reading my book when some lady came and sat next to me with her kindle trying to show off.  She wasn’t even reading it, just trying to look cute with it and then her battery died, you can’t replace a book dude.

I want to start a collection of this book, from all different times with different covers.  I can’t even find one copy, though, in any bookstore.  I ordered one a few weeks ago, but they never called to say it came in.  I hope I can find one soon!

This is my favorite part of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.  I love Captain Nemo so much.  I used to daydream that he would appear and whisk me away in his submarine and teach me about marine life.  I would fall asleep in his library every night.  It would be the perfect Platonic relationship, in a more archaic use of the term (I’m a stickler for etymology- it would mean a symbiotic relationship geared toward the pursuit of knowledge).

Books I want to read

I was a decent reader as a kid but never took interest in these old stories, but now as I aged a little these books of old seem pretty interesting.  Some of them I’ve read but did it half assed and then their is the one by Milton William Cooper that my friend has been beging me to read as a lot of the information in it seems relevant.  I will def be adding more to my list and everyone is welcome to recommend some more.
