How my brain 'works'

I'm reading Shit My Dad Says, and Halpern comments that he's writing a book involving involving a scene in which Michael Jackson has just died and is trying to get into heaven.

I not only think this, mind, but say it to my companion.

Vindication!

A private library is not an ego-boosting appendage but a research tool. Read books are far less valuable than unread ones. The library should contain as much of what you do not know as your financial means, mortgage rates, and the currently tight real-estate market allow you to put there. You will accumulate more knowledge and more books as you grow older, and the growing number of unread books on the shelves will look at you menacingly. Indeed, the more you know, the larger the rows of unread books.
