recommended with reading the first chapter of last dragon

for the lucky few that have gotten a taste of my first chapter, and the lucky many that mayhap will get a taste soon, i have suggestions on ways to enhance your experience. like any fine dish, the addition of complementary wines and menu items will likely improve an already salubrious subject.

i recommend reading LAST DRAGON with White Chocolate, Pinot Noir, Rainer Cherries, Firelight, Bengal Spice Tea, Rainy Afternoons, Reading Aloud to Cats, Beanbag Chairs, Curried Tofu with Vegetables Over Brown Rice, Comfy Chairs in Quiet Cafes, Blackberries and Whipped Cream, Shostakovitch Symphonies, Long Train Treks to Calcutta Upon the Orient Express in a Luxurious Sleeper Cabin, Turkish Coffee, Samuel Barber's Two Essays for Orchestra, Reading While Practicing Tai Chi Chu'an, Dark Chocolate, White Merlot, and Always Thy Comfiest Pajamas.

If I ignore your list and substitute dates and iced tea, will my reading experience change much?

If cats, wine,and pajamas are required, I'm afraid I might end up reading a story about a bootblack's first zeppelin ride.

I'm afraid your reading experience will be utterly smashed, and you might as well forget about it, entirely.

Dried fruits and lots of iced beverages create two side effects that lead to much standing up and walking towards restrooms. You'll lose your place before you know what hits you!

You are forgetting to include the specific Asian cuisine. I'm afraid, you are just not qualified without such things, to read the chapter.
