I took a week of vacation from my crappy post-college clerical job (last job pre-Stenograph). Went alone, read all my books on the flight delays and had nothing to read once I arrived, which kind of sucked, because there really wasn‘t a whole hell of a lot for me to do! The hotel I booked had an English language rack of paperback books and that’s where I discovered Gene Wolfe. The Shadow of the Torturer and the Claw of the Conciliator became my beach buddies.
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
