Word challenge: BLANDISH (word with positive or negative connotation?--see note at end of post)
Samuel Johnson said: "The greatest part of a writer's time is spent in reading in order to write; a man will turn over half a library to make one book."
As a writer, I can testify to the truth of Johnson's statement. I read several books a week and spend many hours at the library.
Continuing information about my research subject Martin De Leon: Martin died in a cholera epidemic.
"Blandish" means to coax by flattery or wheedling; thus it has a negative connotation.
