The book which you read from a sense of duty, or because for any reason you must, does not commonly make friends with you.
Because I was once a reporter, I've always felt a sense of estrangement inside the newsroom. The field is alive and interactive, while the newsroom is quiet and stereotypical.
In specific circumstances the period of aging decline can set in earlier in a particular organ than in the organism as a whole which, in a certain general or theoretical sense, is left a cripple or invalid.
I've got lots of books sitting here that have never been published because nobody could make any marketing sense of them.
