"No matter how dreary and gray our homes are, we people of flesh and blood would rather live there than in any other country, be it ever so beautiful. There is no place like home."

One of my favorite contemporary authors. (Also writing as Barry Hutchison) I am looking forward to beginning this.

I kept thinking I would read a story here and there and get this finished but I can’t. The stories aren’t shocking or amusing. They are barely interesting and then I found out that the story he wrote about how “Taps” was written was a myth, so I am throwing the towel.

I have to track progress to keep me encouraged. So far this is pretentious and annoying.

I give up. It is too esoteric. I told my self read one “sermon” a day (I didn’t) because no matter what Nietzsche’s belief is about religion, these feel like sermons. I notated some beautiful sentences, but I don’t want to read so many pages for so little reward. I get it, he doesn’t believe in religions or morality and he drives this home in a very biblical way. This is - finally - a DNF for me.
