oh, i do love that.
delightful.
like the saucer of milk.
i remember when words used to... play. upon my mind. and i used to read... i used to forage in books. i'd go up to the university library... to different places around english literature (broadly conceived) and i'd rifle through... looking to be... delighted, i guess. sometimes. or to have my heart wrenched. or... something.
do you like plays? i went through a phase of camus... and t.s., elliot. and sartre. i enjoyed their plays, very much.
mostly... after this book... "The end of the road" by John Barth. It has some wonderful parts to it... This guy who gets stuck. Suffers paralysis. Because all the reasons are equally weighted and so there is none. And his psychiatrist prescribe he read nothing but play.s Full of people acting. And so... I read plays. And they were good.
