I smiled a lot when I opened the 3rd image :D In portuese there is a saying: "Não tentes ensinar a missa ao vigário" translation (roughly): Don't try to teach a Pope how to celebrate mass... You are two steps ahead my friend, I never done that joint, you did, so nothing to teach here kind master :D

I work at a university at the moment, and feel exactly as you relating to writing about other books all the time, I can't stand the idea of doing it forever, I feel like I am negating life itself. That’s why a year ago I started planning my escape to countryside also, I agree entirely with you :)
