Marvellous!! A great example of why we will always need to re-examine old certainties.

You guys rlly don't realise how much knowledge is still not committed to the internet. I find books all the time with stuff that is impossible to find through a search engine- most people do not put their magnum opus research online for free and the more niche a skill is the less likely you are to have people who will leak those books online. (Nevermind all the books written prior to the internet that have knowledge that is not considered "relevant" enough to digitise).
Whenever people say that we r growing up with all the world's knowledge at our fingertips...it's not necessarily true. Is the amount of knowledge online potentially infinite? Yes. Is it all knowledge? No. You will be surprised at the niche things you can discover at a local archive or library.

respectfully and in the most christian way possible, donna tartt haters deserve to bake their disgustingly tacky skin until it turns black like rotten figs in the deepest, darkest circle of hell where even the polarizingly unempathetic psycopath satan feels genuinely bad and sorry for the extreme and unforgettable traumatic pain they're experiencing for sinning and disdaining our holy spirit

This restored 1970 mid-century modern home in Houston, Texas has walls of glass in the back and from front to back at the entrance. It's so exposed, I could never live here. 5bds, 5ba, $3.1M.
Through the front door, smack in the middle of the house, is a conversation pit with a large skylight over it.
There's also a very large dining area.
From the living room in the back of the home you can see up to the 3rd floor. Look at the sofa in a brick niche up in the loft- that's different.
There are 5 baths in house.
The kitchen is minimalist modern and looks like it has its own fireplace but it's just a shelf with a small sitting area.
The primary bedroom is open and consists of more than one room.
This glass enclosure appears to be, maybe, a yoga/meditation room.
The en-suite has a large shower and what looks like a double tub.
And, this is the closet/dressing room. Not liking the minimalist furniture in a house this expensive- it looks like IKEA.
Here's a family room.
Large secondary bedroom.
And, this is a child's room.
One of the other baths.
I don't know if that's book shelving on the right or an art installation.
This is another dining area on one of the upper floors.
There are 2 big decks in the back of the house.
It's only a .92 acre lot, which doesn't give it much seclusion for all that glass, especially if someone decides to build nearby. Plus, there appears to be a road going by along the bayou.
