“I think most serious and omnivorous readers are alike - intense in their dedication to the word, quiet-minded, but relieved and eagerly talkative when they meet other readers and kindred spirits. If you have gotten this far in this book, you are just such a singular person.”

  • “Ghost Train to the Eastern Star,” Paul Theroux, p. 453.

I think I’ll blog about music for awhile, esp. my attempts to master the guitar. Thanks to http://yousaygoodbyeandisaycello.blogspot.com for the idea. Here’s my Strat, plus some interval exercises forced on me by my teacher/taskmaster, Tom.
