It's not about reading to impress anyone else. It's about reading for the sheer enjoyment of it all...
This is a short story (I think it's listed as 33 pages long) that was a freebie on Amazon. It is a delightful quick little read. Henry is a hard working guy down on his luck, very down, when his neighbor hands over to him a dirty old student lamp that he blames for the bad things that have happened to him. The rest you will just have to read for yourself.
