Cliff’s Notes

Wednesday is about books. And writing. Today, I found the notepad of the world's first literary critic. Primitive. But important.

On a recent archealogical dig, I found the notebook of the world’s first literary critic. Known only as Cliff, he made notes on every single book that arrived on his doorstep, or was shoved dispassionately throught he slot in his mailbox. The free books just kept coming, because Cliff was very much a fan!
