How to Read: Mesquite Flavored

Oh my or oh yes.

Look at the cover. Look at. Is it a lot or not. Wow, it's heavy. Or maybe not. It's your call. I'm not sure about this, but maybe you are. Flip. Flip. Flip. Smells like a warm furnace to me. I like it. The words smell good. Time to do it.

Who is this guy? This F. Scott or this Shakespeare? Never mind. They write and they write -- how do they write? Maybe Stein knows... Okay. One. First. Once upon. Once upon a time. Once upon a time, there was a king. And this king had a castle. The castle was as big as. The castle was as big as. The castle was as big as a mountain. Here we go. The king had a son and he loved that sun. He loved that son. And there was a feast.

Starting is always the first part. The first part is always the hard part. Starting is harder. It is depressing to know how far you have left.

Standing at a pool, you want to jump. But you know it will be cold. You know. And the knowing is what stops your feet. No knowing. Don't know what to do. Know the no's but don't know them.

Early in the evening, supper's almost on the table.

Supper is a funny word. You can say it and it will give you the ha-has. Supper.

The evening is early, and supper is on a plate. Suppose supper was not supposed to be supported? That is a twist of the tongue.

Look for the twists in reading. They are fun. And be well fed. Have some supper, okay? Then you can start. Then is always the time.

Reading is, in recap, a time to not know and a time for fun. But you can know. You should know the things you want.

Talking can be unnecessary. Talking is one of those. Don't do what I'm doing right now. There are/is something on the rise. Here is your scoop: climb a hill, and see if you can. Can you get happy getting there? People have fallen without rope. We need rope sometimes.

We need supper too.

A hill has a crest on top. The top is hard, but you need to feel it. Feel it with your feet. Look up and then see if you -- see if you can -- you'll see.

Indiana Jones ran from the rock. You should stand in front of it. I promise.

Promises are easily broken, though.

Reading is no guarantee. There may not be a once. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, look again. Reading is a fool and a joke. Find the ha-has if you can.

Some people say this and that. People can eat a crow too. You can say that and this. You may have to eat a crow. Maybe a burnt crow. Mesquite flavored would be nice.

Think of reading as a mesquite flavored chip.
