To the Reader.
Legend has it that a long time ago, in a land far away, there was a book that was written that contained within it All the Knowledge Inherent in the Universe. That book was called The Helping Friendly Book, and it possessed the ancient Secrets to Eternal Joy and Never Ending Splendor.
Unfortunately, The Helping Friendly Book and all its secrets fell into the wrong hands long ago, and instead of the Knowledge being used to enlighten people, it’s been used to brainwash and manipulate them, thus ushering in the dark age of the tyranny of the dull mind.
In 2013, after hearing rumors of the legendary lost book, we decided to form a search party and call ourselves The Helping Friendly Book Club, and we’ve been searching for the Secrets to Eternal Joy and Never Ending Splendor ever since. We’re currently reading our 33rd book of the quest, and we’ve also come up with a plan to help elevate the public conversation and connect people through books in convivial ways.
Do not go gently into that good night; rage, rage against the tyranny of the dull mind.
