I find it easy to make brownies. I am afraid of dying. I visit therapists regularly. I am fond of being alone, which helps me appreciate nature. When I camp, I only do so on a beach. I call when I camp on the beach and get a permit. I usually camp for 1 night. I am considering a weekend long trip in a canyon near me. I went to the grand canyon last summer. I will get the food for the trip. My friend loves to cook.
I am afraid of dying alone. I usually camp out in the woods. One day I hope to go camping on a beach. I like to go camping with a small group of friends. I hike. I don't camp on the beaches near me because I fear being harassed by the police. I didn't know a permit was available for beach camping. I last went camping 2 months ago. I am planning a 2 week backpacking trip through the mountains this summer. I plan to make multiple stops on my next backpacking trip. I have never been to the grand canyon. I want to go rafting in the grand canyon. I am a strong swimmer. I trained as a lifeguard when i was younger. I teach 18th Century English Literature at the University of Chicago. I love literature. I went to Yale for PhD in Literature. I'm reading Laurence Sterne's Tristram Shandy now. I've published some books. I'm planning to write a survival book.
I recently finished a new fantasy novel. It's quite interesting. Oh, that's wonderful. What is it called, and whom is the author? Well first, let's see if you'd like the themes. How do you feel about time travel, and rock bands?  I mean, I like the movie "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure". So my feelings are generally positive regarding this topic. I like your sense of humor. It's kind of hard to explain, so thanks for your patience. It's about this rock band that uses music, to rip open dimensions, and time travel, saving people.  That sounds interesting enough. It has to be more interesting than what I am reading. I'm reading Sterne's "Tristram Shanty", and it's boring and pedantic to say the very least.  Tristram eh? Well, that reminds me of Tristan and Isolte, which I also probably misspelled, which is a classic old story. What's the Shanty book about?  The novel largely concerns itself with events and personages from before the author's birth. Some even might call it an, "anti-novel". Does sound a bit dry. Actually the way you describe it, I'm not sure you really like the book, which tells me if I should read it also.  I don't always read for pleasure. Sometimes, I read purely to gain knowledge of a particular person, author, or subject. But yes, this one is rather dry!!! I hear you there. Now I'm wondering what kind of books you do like, if there are any recent ones?  I wouldn't say it's new, but I've taken more time lately to read Philosophy. My last read was the "Bhagavad Gita", the famous Hindu text. I'm sure you've heard of it?
