We proclaim our uniqueness and inwardly reject regular boxes. Tragicomically, we are ashamed of our legal eccentricities. We hide our oddities to be even with others! Human, funny beings!
"The dilemma is how simultaneously to appear normal and yet allow ourselves to be known."

I will be taking my mind on a leisure walk through the pages of this book.
Though the journey is, mostly, for pleasure and ticking a box (at the end, I would be able to proudly tell another reader that I have read all the author's books); it is also helps me see worlds...
It is possible to have the knowledge but not the character and will for execution.
