I saw a book at the DI that was about 2 inches thick called "How to Get Your Point Across in 30 Seconds or Less."
How come you couldn't?
I will not buy your book. Not until it is only a page long. Then I will believe you.
If you are ever bored, visit the book section of a thrift store. It's like a condenced library of nobody wants them books, and they're amazing.
Yesterday, in the kids section, I found a small collection of mini square shaped thick hard board page for one year old books. These are the kinds of books you read to your kids in hopes that they embrace the values and long-term life lessons embedded in the pages while also internalizing the intricacies of the English language.
Baby Panda lives in China.
Baby Panda has black and white fur.
Baby Panda eats bamboo.
Time for Baby Panda to take a nap.
The End.
I read through a few of them and then I found this:
How could the whole story of The Little Mermaid be told in 5 pages?!
I think that whoever wrote "How to Get Your Point Across in 30 Seconds or Less" should take some advice from Disney.
They know how to get right to point at the expense of everything else... like plot.
Needless to say, I bought The Little Mermaid.
