Dear Parent,
Who calls such amazing fragments of writing THE WASTE BOOKS! But Georg Christoph Lichtenberg did. And his writings were popular among the finest of minds.
It contains aphorisms, fragments and little gems written by him way way back.
Going by the size of every fragment, it would delight the youngster. But to be able to read such short fragments and make sense of them, one has to have done some good reading earlier, as inadvertent preparation.
But the youngster doesn’t have much time until college, and after college there’s no time for learning through reading. Are my impressions correct? Am I living in a different world?
