Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Teach, Learn, Share

Read, Read, and Read some more and Learn to LOVE to read! Do not waste much time reading fiction, a little is all right. But the real "meat" is in biographies, auto-biographies, self help, history and reading books that will increase you knowledge and understanding og the "REAL WORLD" and teach how to know why lawyers are the liars of the earth.
