I don't need to impress , don't want to depress, repress or distress, though I confess to undress or be undressed might express success.
 
 
 
Nobody has ever made me laugh like Douglas Adams. OK, John Barth had "Giles Goat Boy and Chimera" for fun, and "End of the Road" for tears.
Frank Herbert's Dune is my political bible, and Herman Hesse may be my absolute favorite writer. Chuang Tzu, M Scott Peck, Fredrich Fromm Carl Sagan, Tom Waits, C S Lewis.

For the most part I am self educated. I skipped lots of days in grade school, I came in for the tests, aced them. After not graduating HS, I went on to not graduate college. I'm currently working on not getting a master's degree. I can't wait to not get my Phd. - I think that's what's called the "undergraduate complex".
