Quote:

Life according to Tibby.... available at bookstores everywhere.



I would fully endorse this wonderful idea but the very people who could most benefit from reading it - i.e. MY VILLAGERS - cannot read and write. It's part of my decreed illiteracy campaign in the village. I find that they work harder when they aren't distracted by reading things like the warning labels on the faulty box of nails they use to construct the huts or even the sign posted by the Barry White bush that states: "Consumption may cause sexiness." Unfortunately, the scientists must be able to read - and I am forever hauling them back from the Barry White bush as they strive to become breeders.

It's a thankless job.
