I loved reading to such excess, particularly romances, that I spent
whole days and nights at them. Sometimes the day broke while I continued
to read, insomuch, that for a length of time I almost lost the habit of
sleeping. I was ever eager to get to the end of the book, in hopes of
finding something to satisfy a certain craving which I found within me.
My thirst for reading was only increased the more I read. Books are
strange inventions to destroy youth. If they caused no other hurt than
the loss of precious time, is not that too much? I was not restrained,
but rather encouraged to read them under this fallacious pretext, that
they taught one to speak well.

And here's a good tip: if your bag's cleaning instructions call for
air drying in a tumble dryer, try throwing a few tennis balls
in with the sleeping bag. Once your clothes have been washed and waterproofed as necessary, place them in an airtight container and store them in a location that's dry and out of direct sunlight. When a heavier weight than this is placed on the shoulders, it will cause imbalance and pull the person backwards.
