The following is an excerpt of an e-mail message I just sent... Oy vey
"I'll be honest today was rough and to keep from reverting to bad habits I've poured some rather strong drinks and now and quite drunk and it's only 6:30... wow, glamourous.
"Anyway. Green Eggs and Ham. Yes. I enjoyed it. I feel it is an example of great American literature which should be hailed frequently, like a new york taxi cab. I mean honestly, look at this list: http://www.readliterature.com/american.htm
"How many of them have you ACTUALLY read. And I don't mean the cliff's notes, or the back cover, or seen the movie, I mean READ it. Me? Eight. Yup. Eight. Now I've heard of a bunch of these and skimmed it, have it on my book shelf, took a test on it, seen a movie- working through one of them actually- but read it? From cover to cover? Intro to epilogue? Eight.
"Yet I've read Green Eggs and Ham more times than I can count before I even realized I was reading. With a fox in a box, on a train in the rain? Yes sir, Dr. Seuss, you betcha. You bet your sweet bippy even-- though I'm still not sure what a bippy is... wait that was Goldie Hawn wasn't it?? Nevermind. Point it I've read it and it changed my life. Cat in the Hat? The Lorax? 1 fish 2 fish Red fish blue fish? Of course I have!
"I'm not sure where I was going with this and should most likely stop now. :grin:"
