Books are more important to me than drugs

I have instructed dad to put the last money i have ($25) to put into my Savings, so that i can then put to my Visa, after which i may acquire more books, on my Kobo device, and Charlton Griffin narrating The Iliad (Lattimore trans.) for a mightily discounted price!!

I must ergo only take a maximum of 2 gummies per wake period, which will be when i've been awake for about 14 hours to facilitate a drowsiness that will result in a sleep without using up my sleeping pills which my doc has reduced my dosage.

Lucretius, Polybius and Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics all from Oxford World's Classics with nice footnotes galore.

You have good taste in books. When Churchill travelled by boat to anywhere he had a stack of books to read. In 1941 for his trip to see FDR he took these:

Seven Pillars of Wisdom by T. E. Lawrence
The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon
The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck
The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith
The Time Machine by H. G. Wells
Counter-Attack and Other Poems
Bartlett's Familiar Quotations
