If the power to do hard work is not a skill, it's the best possible substitute for it.
Even as a kid, if I would come across something cool in the record store, that would be how I found out about bands. It's kind of the same way these days. In a way even less because there are no record stores to go to anymore.
Bleak House is just the most astounding piece of work. There's huge, visionary poetry in it.
