I smile

(deep inside)

When I see Culturally Aware Peasants

In Squirrel Fur Coats

Turn up their noses

When I leaf through a new Stephen King-novel.

In a local book-store.

It is times like this I think

(Again, deep inside me)

You can keep your Anais Nin!

It must mean that you know it by heart and reached final boredom ...
while Stephen offers some new excitement on every page.
Your provocative way of expression stirs my interest.
Love,

ps my own choice would be another Stephen ... Hawking... there is the real excitement of knowledge, but then libraries are places holding many temptations!

I even lost my respect for Henry Miller When I Read his Letters to Nin...
