Description

She couldn't read in her head. Only out loud! It drove me crazy. One day I found myself writing what she was reading. He was pissed! So I got her a knitting kit. It worked out great.

Introduction by A. G. Harrison

Introduction

From the time human felt the necessity to communicate, he realized the value of the written word and wrote by drawing on cave walls, clay tablets, stones, papyrus, parchment, paper, and today, with the development of technology, he has created e-books.

The object "book" is classified in industrial products, but at the same time it is a cultural good. Personally, I emphasize both of its dimensions, but mainly in its cultural dimension. I consider the book to be the most important expression of culture because quite simply, in addition to being the same work of art, it supports all other expressions of culture.

As an industrial product, through the many stages of its creation and before it reaches the hands of the reader, it financially supports a wide range of professions, such as writers, philologists, translators, designers, publishers, paper merchants, printing houses, bookbinders, distributors and, finally, bookstores… Let us not forget, of course, that today it also greatly supports the huge online market industry.

The governments of many countries, studying and delving into the economic benefits of the book, have invested and supported this industry in various ways, which flourished and offered them great financial gains.

Starting with the Sumerians, Babylonians and other peoples of Mesopotamia, who wrote on clay tablets, Egyptians and Romans, who wrote on papyrus, the Jews on parchment, the evolution with handwritten books images in the Middle Ages in Europe, the creation of the first wooden typographic elements and paper by the Chinese, who printed the first books, the discovery of metallic elements by the German Johannes Gutenberg during the Renaissance and the really rapid development of printing in 1450 until 1456 and, finally, during the 19th-20th century the Industrial Revolution, which makes the production of the book flourish are some examples of the value of the written word.

The agony and effort of all these civilized societies, over time, in various parts of the world, teaches us that the book is an integral part of human existence.

Throughout this course the book records and transports from the depths of the centuries ancient civilizations, which teach us about the mistakes that we can avoid or imitate the achievements of our ancestors and adopt timeless principles and values, supplies for survival. but also the evolution of the human species.

By reading a book, we have the opportunity to create with our imagination the heroes of history, landscapes, various objects, etc. In the pages of a book, the author, in addition to his study, research, experiences, also expresses his feelings. He makes us members of his own world and gives us the opportunity to learn.

It helps us to acquire knowledge but also to enrich our vocabulary, improving our own writing.

It contributes to our mental alertness, increases the ability to focus, improves our memory, helps to develop our analytical mental abilities, entertains us, calms us down and helps reduce stress.

Of course, apart from the importance of touch and contact with a hot material, reading a quality book contributes significantly and decisively to our self-education, the cultivation of critical thinking, the upgrading of our aesthetics and consequently contributes to our quality of life.

It conveys art, informs, cultivates the spirit and the soul, elevates intelligence, finds solutions to problems, conveys messages, circulates ideas, forms consciences.

I hope my books convey a message of personal experiences and you could find segments of your own truth as well.

Thank you in advance for being here and being ready to start reading.
Beginning

“This is Mel’s house.” George said stopping at the end of the path leading up to the front door.

“Nice house.” Miller said.

“Yeah, but the guy is a prick.” George said as Miller turned him around and slapping the cuffs on.

“Your next.” Miller said cuffing Charlie.

“Ok! Follow me.” Miller said wearing the glasses and butcher jacket holding the pen and pad. “What horse do you want?”

“That big muscular one.” Charlie said pointing into the field.

“What is it name?” Miller asked ready to write the name on the pad.

“Packard.” Charlie answered.

“Ok, good. Here we go.” Miller said pounding on Mel’s front door.

“Who is it!?” Mel yelled from somewhere in the house.

“Open up! It’s the inspector of USA horse protection program!” Miller yelled as Charlie and George looked at each other wide eyed.

“Who?” Mel yelled.

“Open up the door or I’ll rain some serious shit down on you!” Miller yelled as Charlie and George stood there in shock.

“Ok! I am coming!” Mel yelled.

“That’s what she said.” Miller said turning back to Charlie and George standing behind him hand cuffed and smiled.

“Hello.” Mel said pulling open his solid hand craved wood door.

“Yes! Are you Mel!?” Miller yelled.

“Yes.” Mel said not knowing if that was the right answer.

“Get out here you old as hell old timer before I take you back to Washington with me and have your ass carved out!” Miller yelled watching the old man quickly move thru the door and out onto the porch. “How old are your buddy, you look like a hundred and ninety. God bam it man your old. Hey what was the 1700’s like. Cold? What was the earth like before dirt? What did you walk on?”

“I guess it was cold. What about dirt?” Mel said taken back by Millers straight forwardness.

“Do you know these two men!?” Miller yelled.

“Yeah.” Mel answered softly looking at George and Charlie hand cuffed.

“It’s yes! Not…yeah. Where did you go to school!?” Miller yelled.

“Paddle Bridge.” Mel answered not knowing what was happening.

“That explains it! Now I know the type of idiot I am dealing with. There is nothing but complete fucking idiots up in Paddle Bridge! Let me write that down.” Miller yelled writing something on the note pad.

“Paddle Bridge isn’t up, it’s down on the coast line.” Mel said correcting Miller.

“Oh that Paddle bridge! I always get my Bridges messed up. I know that one! There hasn’t been an A given out in that school in a hundred years. A bunch of fucking idiots running around down there!” Miller yelled making George and Charlie laugh.

“If you laugh again I’ll blow your balls off!” Miller said just turning his head.

“What is the problem?” Mel asked trying to gain a hold of the situation.

“What! You don’t ask me questions! I ask you!” Miller yelled.

“Follow me old timer. You two convicts lead the way! And if you try any funny shit I’ll cap your ass.” Miller said waving for Charlie and George to lead the way.

“Where do you want us to go?” George asked looking back a Miller putting his arm around Mel.

“To the horses numb nuts!” Miller yelled. “I tell you old timer, this black fella is A ok in my book, but this George character is a real headache.

“Oh, ok.” Mel said scared out of his mind.

“Do you like black fellas Mel!?” Miller screamed.

“…No.” Mel said looking away from Miller as he spoke.

“No, you piece of shit! What is that horse’s name? The big one.” Miller yelled taking his hand off Mel’s shoulders as they came to the fence.

“That is Packard. My prize horse.” Mel said with a little life in his voice.

“Yeah that is the one! What about that one!?” Miller yelled writing in the pad.

“Whispy.” Mel answered. “Why are they in hand cuffs?”

“There criminals. Like you!” Miller asked pointing to Mel and pressing his finger against his chest.

“What the hell are you telling about?” Mel asked.

“I am the health inspector for the safety and well-being of horse in this country! And did you sell these men a horse the other day!?” Miller yelled getting nose to nose with Mel.

“Yes.” Mel said swallowing his spit.
