Lately, when I search the World Wide Web with the “Ranko Bon Residua” phrase, the piece of writing that is my current favorite comes topmost (“A Recipe for Foolproof Subversion,” May 14, 2013). And it says it all in one-hundred and fifty-one word, including the date it was written. Although I am aware that the same search phrase may yield a somewhat different outcome on another computer, for Google results depend on all previous searches from the same computer, I feel kind of proud of my readers. They got the message. The most intrepid among them will also read my book about climate change, which includes the recipe, but that is hardly essential at this stage.[1] The most gifted among my readers will figure out everything that needs to be figured out all by themselves. No need to load them with words. Endless reading is not a part of the recipe, anyhow.

Addendum (October 8, 2016)

I just googled the World Wide Web with the same phrase once again, and I found the recipe in question on the second page of search results. Thus I still feel kind of proud of my readers. They did get the message, after all. As for my book about climate change, its second edition is now available in Portable Document Format on my Ca’ Bon Gallery website (www.cabongallery.org). Apparently, the first edition did not sell well enough, and my Belgrade publisher was not interested in the second edition. One more time, I do not worry about the most gifted among my readers, for they will take care of themselves in the fullness of time. But my recipe and my book will give them a little bit of succor, as well as a welcome dash of entertainment. Among other things, the book offers quite a few gems about human stupidity. Given all the givens, that is more than enough.
