Bot, Did you by chance attend the "Erasmus School of Writing"? Without the use of mind-altering drugs, you successfully took me back to another time; the night I so painfully read "Praise of Folly" in the wee hours of the morning, after a full night of partying, and just a few hours before an eight-o'clock AM exam on that fine piece of literature (literature in this case, being a euphemism). I have no recollection, really, of what I read so very early that morning, but I do recall that it evoked the same feelings as I had while reading your post. In spite of everything, I did fine on the test. Thanks for the memories.
