Learn to observe and analyze swiftly, wherever you are.

The Free State is British created and serves British Imperialist interests. It is the buffer erected between British Capitalism and the Irish Republic.

• I am a reader, a flashlight-under-the-covers, carries-a-book-everywhere-I-go​, don't-look-at-my-Amazon-bill. I choose purses based on whether I can cram a paperback into them, and my books are the first items I pack into a suitcase. I am the person who family and friends call when they need a book recommendation or cannot remember who wrote Heidi. My identity as a person is so entwined with my love of reading and books that I cannot separate the two.
