“Tomorrow the world will watch in horror as its greatest city destroys itself. The movement back to harmony will be unstoppable this time.” – Batman Begins
H.P. Lovecraft walks into a bar, and the result was such that any man would be driven mad by the events that followed. Oh, and there was a rabbi and a horse.
When I was a kid, as I’ve established before, I read. A lot. At least an hour a day on the school bus. I’d read at home, too, since the nearest kid lived miles and miles away from Wilder Mountain, and occasionally Ma Wilder ran out of pork chops to tie around my neck so the dog would play with me.
Reading, though, held a very special place around our house, and was something that was revered by both Ma and Pa. One example? While I technically had a bedtime, Ma Wilder actively encouraged me to stay up as late as I wanted to if I was reading.
