Gee! No one ever asked me such a question before! I no longer remember the book. Personally I read for style, not for story. I like the fable style –

This hit me as hard as George Berkeley in Philosophy 101. It is, in a sense, the most English book of mysticism ever written. (This guy’s so English, his name begins with two initials.) On Having No Head is utterly solipsistic, which ultimately troubl ...more |

Beneath the Wheel by Herman Hesse It’s sort of the inverse of Siddhartha – the actual story of Hesse’s life (fictionalized, of course), according to some note at the beginning of the book. It’s not so easy being a snobby Black Forest intellectual adol ...more |

Maybe Shakespeare’s wrong: all’s NOT well that ends well. This play, for example. The ending is happy, but fails to resolve all the bad shit that happened in the first four acts. Maybe Helen made the first mistake: choosing the cutest guy in the court ...more |

| My friend C. offered me this volume – so old that there is no copyright date. The book, which had been extensively chewed by mice, at first seemed to be advice about running a girls school. On closer examination, it proved to be perverse Victorian sp ...more | |
“When composing a verse let there not be a hair's breath separating your mind from what you write; composition of a poem must be done in an instant, like a woodcutter felling a huge tree or a swordsman leaping at a dangerous enemy.”

Thank you. No, I don't think you ever sent me a photo. I would like to see it!
I love that picture of you. I just enlarged it so I could see what was going on. I have a great picture of you from the workshop in NC. Did I ever send you one?
Hi Sparrow. Nice to see you again. Do you have a rubber duckie?
I also hope you're having a good day. But I must ask, why no picture? Maybe after the teeth are brushed you'll put one up? Or perhaps that's just my useless optimism, rearing it's pointless little head...
thank you. The day is getting rather advanced -- time to work on my tooth brushing, really. But I get a little obsessed with late-night e-mailing. I hope your day is, or was, flagrantly happy.
I heard you bought one of Dada and my books, Tools to Change the World. Could you please review it for Goodreads? Amazon would be great, too, if you can.
Sisterly,
Miirabaii
