    Because it would prevent being able to discuss spay/neutering when the cat's around. You need a secret language for that. :rolleyes:

    Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

    He does still wash his bits, then stare at me thoughtfully for quite a long while from time to time - and he's 11 now. Long memories, cats. They plan ahead as well ... :~

        Since lockdown, I'm into more books. Time to time, my searches brought these. Came across many blank books like this[^] . Also Meow Book[^] . And now a book poem written in binary[^]

        Funnily enough... I was in bookstore yesterday and noticed two peculiar offerings. The first is a book on how to make money via cryptocurrency... Which of course the author must not be very good at or he wouldn't need to try to sell books to Dummies. The second is a (hard cover) book on living waste-free...

            Any book is different and unique (if we are not talking about copies of the same book of course)

                  Paul Sanders. If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter - Blaise Pascal. Some of my best work is in the undo buffer.

                          :) As I mentioned in my post, I'm into more books. Google searches given me random items like those. I came across around 50 titles & couldn't remember all those. My intentional search was about things like Experimental Fiction, Epistolary, Other writing forms, etc., But I got these titles unexpectedly. Now I remember one more This Guy Became a 'Best-Selling Author' in Just 5 Minutes[^] But I found more real books apart from these masterpieces.
