my goodness he has quite a lot of opinions about other peoples lives!

if I ever find my iPod I can finish listening to this one..... I think the squirrels are using it for their raves :sigh:

enjoying this very much!!
discovered it is excerpted from Suzuki's Zen and Japanese Culture which I have now borrowed from the library.

"No writer... yet described with unsparing fidelity the kind of misery which lies in having to do precisely the same things at the same hour, through long and consecutive periods of time. The hours then become a dead weight which oppresses the spirit to the point of torture"p.6

"...True piquancy and zest of all pleasures lies in contrast.... A street that interests...when it is traversed at random and without object, becomes inexpressibly wearisome when it is the thoroughfare of daily duty." p. 5

I still can't decide.... is this a spoof of Regency Romances? Like Northanger Abbey was a spoof of Gothic novels?
