I've been collecting/typing up useful quotes as I read selective parts in each book. I was pleasantly surprised that they all had a lot of interesting points to offer because I understood most of what was written. I thought I would struggle through the reading since I haven't read an academic text in a while. Going through them was actually kind of fun and I was learning so much. I am glad this essay is pushing me into reading things I am interested in. For the plan, I'm not even sure if it makes sense or not, the points I'm trying to make, but we'll see what happens. I was almost overloaded with quotes, there were so many fascinating ones!
