Reading is sexy.
I like to read.
Intelligence is sexy. Do not play stupid.
“Actually, all education is self-education. A teacher is only a guide, to point out the way, and no school, no matter how excellent, can give you education. What you receive is like the outlines in a child’s coloring book. You must fill in the colors yourself.”
“For one who reads, there is no limit to the number of lives that may be lived, for fiction, biography, and history offer an inexhaustible number of lives in many parts of the world, in all periods of time.”

isbn.org : What is a ISBN number and what is it used for?
short version: it uniquely identifies that book, hardcover or soft, etc. and makes it easier for bookstores, new or used to look it up for you… or for you to look it up yourself on line or in libraries.
What is an ISBN?
- The International Standard Book Number (ISBN) is a 10-digit number that uniquely identifies books and book-like products published internationally.
What is the purpose of an ISBN?
- The purpose of the ISBN is to establish and identify one title or edition of a title from one specific publisher and is unique to that edition, allowing for more efficient marketing of products by booksellers, libraries, universities, wholesalers and distributors.
