Recommended Reading

There is so much we can learn from the experiences of others. We can read about life, love, and liberty. We can see how others look at the world. We see the world of politics, religion through the eyes of others. Reading broadens our perspective.

       inclination and no repugnance, not even the slightest, to being there, it
       should enter and should rise in a column high enough to make
       equilibrium with the weight of the external air which forces it up?"
