The Dangerous Book tl;dr

Simon’s mom sent me a book today. i guess she didn’t get the memo about me NOT READING BOOKS. (Comics yes, books no.) i think she’s trying to trick me into reading because Good Old Simon just luuuurves to read.

It’s called The Dangerous Book for Boys and it’s pretty fat so at first i was like tl;dr. [Which would make a very short thank you note: "Dear Aunt Shirley, Thanx for the book. It was Too Long; Didn't Read. Thanks again. Parker"]

But the title sounded OK so i flipped thru it and it actually is kinda cool. Tells you how to skip stones and make water bombs and catch fish and all like that. Trouble is, i already know how to do most of it. Hello? Uncle Philbert taught me.

But i guess not everyone can have an Uncle Philbert. In which case you might like the book.
