Such a funny introduction. Well, you've bought this book. But it's not for kids. And it's not really for adults either. Enjoy I guess...
Text on a book page with several lines highlighted in green. known about the Dreyfus case. But her approach is repellent; there is no other word. It is possible to take a robust attitude in these matters—if you are not Jewish—and to suggest that old writing must be seen in its context, that it is educational to hear the uncensored voice of an age. Each reader must make up his or her mind. I would argue against bowdlerisation; I wouldn't, either, give The Scarlet Pimpernel to a child. But who else is it fit for? A rattling yarn with romantic longueurs, a romance with fisticuffs, a hero handsome, rich and brave, a 'child-like' heroine of winsome appeal, a French baddy who inhales pepper which he believes is snuff ... it's not for grown-ups, not really. And yet the impulses behind it are carefully calculated, those of a real crowd-pleaser, a woman who knew her trade and learned it xvi

The Shoggoth Who Came to Read
The Shoggoth who came to readOnce there was a little girl called Thea, and she was having tea with her mummy in the kitchen.
Suddenly there was a ring at the door.
Thea’s mummy said, “I wonder who that can be. It can’t be the milkman because he came this morning. And it can’t be boy from the grocer because this isn’t the day he comes.
And it can’t be Daddy because he’s got his key. We’d better open the door and see.”

Thea opened the door, and there was a big, tentacled, many-eyed shoggoth. The shoggoth said, “Excuse me, but I’m very hungry for knowledge. Do you have any books?”
Thea’s mummy said, “Of course, come in.”
So the shoggoth came into the study and sat down at the desk.Thea’s mummy said, “Would you like a novel?” But the shoggoth didn’t just take one novel. He took all the novels off the shelves and his many tentacles held them up to his many eyes.

Whirp!

He read them so fast the pages flew apart.

And he still looked hungry, so Thea passed him volume 1 of the encyclopedia britannica.

But again the shoggoth didn’t read just one volume. He read all 32 volumes. And then he read all the newspapers and all the magazines, and all the non-fiction until there was nothing left in the study but whisps of paper.So Thea’s mummy said, “Would you like a drink?”
And the shoggoth drank all the water in the fridge, and all the water in tap, and all the water in the swimming pool.

Then he said, “Thank you for my nice training. I think, I’d better go now.”

And he went.

Thea’s mummy said, “I don’t know what to do. I’ve got nothing for Daddy’s evening reading, the shoggoth has read it all.”

And Thea found she couldn’t have her bath
because the shoggoth had drunk all the water in the tap.

Eventually the chase is back on
A dirt path through a forest, covered in fallen leaves, stretches into the distance where a small child in a light shirt walks away from the camera towards a bright opening. Deciduous trees with green leaves line the left side, while taller, slender conifer trees with sparse foliage cast long shadows on the right.

Brief moments of peace and quiet
Two people are resting on a dirt bank in a forest. Tall trees with green foliage fill the background. A dirt path leads into the forest on the left, and the ground is covered with brown leaves and dirt. The people are wearing casual clothes, and one has a backpack.

"She still had all of her marbles, though every one of them was a bit odd and rolled asymmetrically." Portable childhoods, Ellen Klages
A section of text from a book, with white serif font on a black background. The visible text reads: "Olive had been the children's librarian since before recorded time, or so it seemed. No one knew how old she was, but she vaguely remembered waving to President Coolidge. She still had all of her marbles, though every one of them was a bit odd and rolled asymmetrically. She slept on a daybed behind a reference shelf that held My First Encyclopedia and". The sentence "She still had all of her marbles, though every one of them was a bit odd and rolled asymmetrically." is highlighted in a light brown color.

if you refrigerate the peanut butter it doesn’t drip so you can have better posture while eating it, like laying on the floor this, however, creates other problems bc the dog cannot reach the sink but can reach the floor

"at 80 kg, your body can tap fat stores for the gap" Rude
Text on a black background, formatted with two bullet points: "o Daily Energy Expenditure: 4,000–4,500 kcal/day. Between the vertical gain, undulating tufted grass (thatching grass and bog terrain), altitude, and sub-zero June night winds, your body will burn substantial fuel just maintaining core temperature and moving. o Realistic Intake Target: 3,400–3,600 kcal/day. Trying to achieve 100% calorie parity on a 10-day unsupported alpine trek requires carrying well over 10 kg of food alone. Running a modest 500–800 kcal daily deficit is standard; at 80 kg, your body can tap fat stores for the gap without critical power loss."

my self-imposed "don't take the lord's name in vain" from my youth meant my normal interjection took the form "oh my stars" instead of "oh my god" so a friend, steve, started saying "oh dave's stars" and when i mellowed i started saying "oh steve's god"
