 E.B. White is the author of such tragic, shockingly tragic children's books like Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little, which I'll talk about today. He's also the author of my favorite sentence in the English language because it correctly uses five prepositions in a row. It's about a father going upstairs to read a book to his son who's in bed, but he brings the wrong book so the little boy says, what did you bring that book that I don't like being read to out of up for? Read to out of up for. Now Stuart Little, okay this book made a big impression on me when I read it, of course I read it many years ago when I was like 31. And it's about this mouse, a little mouse, it was actually the cause of the little controversy because a woman gave birth to this mouse that offended a lot of people's religion. But this mouse, you can imagine it's a pretty severe disability to be two inches tall, but the mouse is completely cavalier and is so inspirational the way he just takes on life. He'll get on, he'll ride buses by hanging on to people's pants so that he can make that big step from the ground to the bus. There's a little bird that comes visit them and he fights off a cat with a little bow and arrow that he made out of a paper clip and he's such a cool dude, he doesn't even take credit for it in the morning. The bird was sleeping during the attack and he just keeps her safe and doesn't even take credit. He sees a principal of a school crying, the steward comes up to him and says, what's wrong? He says, my teachers aren't here, I don't know what I'm going to do. The steward's like, don't worry, I'll teach the class. And that's probably the only time in the book, yes, I can find politics even in stewart little, that libertarians would be taken a little bit of a back because stewart gets up on the table and starts talking to the students about how reasonable all these socialist ideas are. Not a big deal, but it's pretty ridiculous, that little section of the book saying that, oh gosh darn, it's just common sense, if I'm king of the world I'll make all these laws against everything bad and everything will be great, everything's reasonable. So you're reading through this book and then near the end and it's a fun children's story and it goes through all these adventures which probably lends itself to bedtime reading. And then stewart's like, hey I'm going to go look for that bird. I love that bird, I'm going to go look for that bird. And you're like, oh it's hard to find just a bird somewhere in the world, but you give some creative license to the author and you say, okay maybe this is possible somehow, like a quest. Although usually quests start at the beginning of a book not at the end. So stewart little drives off and then he meets this little girl who's two inches tall and you think, man this is perfect. Like finally stewart found love and he writes this super formal letter about requesting the pleasure of her company and forgive my intrusion and he sets up like a date, he hides a little tiny canoe that they're going to go on and they get together and he finds this canoe and someone stepped on it or some voice smashed it or something like that. And holy crap stewart just, it's like a switch flips in his head, he just shuts off, he just gives up on life right there in the book. And the girl's like, don't worry, it's no big deal, let's do something else. And stewart's like, no, I don't want to do anything else. It was perfect and now it's ruined. And the girl's like trying to cheer him up, like come on let's go dancing. I've always wanted to dance but I never had a partner because she's also two inches tall. And stewart's like, no, I don't want to do that, I don't want to do anything. And it just keeps going like that and you're reading this cute little children's book and then you just checks out on life. It's very shocking. And this will be a book review under five minutes long. Finally, have a good day.
