“And on the subject of burning books: I want to congratulate librarians, not famous for their physical strength or their powerful political connections or their great wealth, who, all over this country, have staunchly resisted anti-democratic bullies who have tried to remove certain books from their shelves, and have refused to reveal to thought police the names of persons who have checked out those titles.
So the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries.”

Hardy is my favourite novelist..especially Tess and The Return Of The Native. Chandler..superb in that genre..love Bogart and Bacall..The Big Sleep..fantastic dialogue and so many memorable scenes. My favourite poets are Seamus Heaney and W B Yeats but so many others living and dead run them close in certain poems. Joyce's Dubliner's is a good book of short stories to dip into. A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man is short but brilliant..enjoy it for yourself! Ulysees http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulysses_..., like Cervantes Don Quixote, is best savoured at one's leisure. I love stream of consciousness.
I have been a Manchester United fan since the age of three and grew up four hundred metres from Old Trafford.
Thankye and take care...Strider
Thanks for "friending" me mate. I see we have some overlapping literary inerests; Hardy, Kafka, Raymond Chandler. Tell me... I've wanted to dive into reading James Joyce, but have always gotten bogged down and given up. Which of his writings to you recommend for a Yank? Who is your football side? I am an ex-player, and a high schools and collegiate referee.
Cheers.... Jerry
Thanks...... Jerry
