and today was

I walked into a bookstore.
In there was a book which told me which books changed famous author's lifes. I checked to see if there were any I had read. None, but one. The miraculous adventures of Bram Vingerling. A children's book. The author whose life had changed after reading this book was Harry Mulisch, the self proclaimed genius writer of the Netherlands. He knows a whole lot of stupid facts and he thinks he's sooo smart.

Then it struck me... I like stupid facts. I like to think I am smart.
Amazing how a little boy who invented something that caused invisibility and got kidnapped afterwards, can make me feel like an arrogant author.
