got to part two, i like the way these guys write about authors. Cool how theres like 2200 years of unbroken chinese recorded history. I bet they’ll win. I like how Volatire (like me) became a china guy to argue with stupid westeners- chad. Thoreau seemed to love these older guys. I would never become a stoic.
