Me, I'm an encyclopedia. I'm not a very smart guy, but I'm an encyclopedia. You can ask me about anything you want. Probably I have the book; probably I have a first edition.

I ask myself, is the book being digitized by someone else, or is there an earlier edition of the same book that's being digitized?

You can ask me anything. I'm an open book.

I was very impressed with the street food of Singapore. I was very impressed with the dishes that they did.
