They always say-after a nuclear war we will have cockroaches and Cher- and books!!!
by kimcoxmonm2021-10-22
10/10

"This episode is top notch. Henry is a sweet, meek and visually challenged man who's only wish is some time to read. All of the other characters crush his spirit and demean his desire for the written page. It's runs the gambit of emotions from funny to heartbreaking. His shrew of a wife does make me laugh when she calls out his name - Hen-REEEEEEEY like she is in a hog-calling contest. The poor man can't read a ketchup bottle and she demarcates his book of poetry, which he notices after the glimmer of hope when she wants him to read to her. What a b*tch!!! I am an avid book reade..."
