Happy belated Birthday, Robert! And thanks for sharing your wonderful gifts with us. (I realize, as I type this, that I mean "gifts" both in the sense of your presents and in the sense of your gift of speaking to us in your videos.)

[@RobertGReaderofBooks-r3p]

Thank you. You're too kind.

Happy birthday! Those are wonderful gifts. I have Robinson's Gilead on my TBR at the moment, but Reading Genesis also sounds right up my alley.

Happy belated birthday!! Sounds like you have some wonderful gifts! RE: your episode on the book "Storm".... i started reading it last week, and am enjoying it, in chapter DAY 3. You did comment to read it slowly, which i am doing... so much detail!! Thank you for the recommendation!

[@RobertGReaderofBooks-r3p]

Happy to hear you're enjoying "Storm".

Happy belated birthday 🎉 from Bosnia

Arden editions are the best! The Merchant was my first Shakespeare. Our beloved 9th grade teacher introduced me to this play and created in me a lasting love of The Bard. A very happy belated birthday.

[@jonathanbrewer7072]

Nice to meet someone with a literary bent.

[@KieranBall-h4i]

Genesis the ultimate book

[@TheGentlemanScholar]

Happy Birthday, sir! 5:10

[@jonathanbrewer7072]

The Bible ( eg Genesis ) is a composite of poetry, myth, legends, allegory, analogy, etc. Genesis book sounds interesting.

[@jonathanbrewer7072]

Robert, are you starting to empathize with those wise words by GB Shaw - ' Youth is wasted on the young ' ? 😊

[@racinglightsYT]

Robert - do you consider listening to an audiobook as “having read a book”? Could you make a video about that subject? I think it counts, others don’t!

[@RobertGReaderofBooks-r3p]

I'm not especially dogmatic regarding audio versus the written word, though I prefer the latter.

[@chrisbeveridge3066]

chiaroscuro : bright clear + dark obscure ( Shakespeare: don't mistake him for an instrument ) Don't hang to much in the bookish knowledge if you want to read the Bible read Milton's annotated for sure Paradise lost and Christian Doctrine outstandingly entertaining and fruitful and healthy

[@RobertGReaderofBooks-r3p]

I'm not sure what you mean by any of this, but I'll assume the best of intentions.

Happy birthday!
