Sobre mimFavorite literary quotes:
O the green wothe botheth. (Joyce)

I have perceiv'd that to be with those I like is enough, to stop in company with the rest at evening is enough, to be surrounded by beautiful, curious, breathing, laughing flesh is enough, to pass among them or touch any one, or rest my arm ever so lightly round his or her neck for a moment, what is this then? I do not ask any more delight, I swim in it as in a sea. "I Sing the Body Electric." (Whitman)

Sobre a minha bibliotecaEclectic is becoming a word-cliche but I know no better. I might say "catholic", but that is too ambitious and encompassing, because my sad deficiency in the hard sciences and the concomitant small space in my library for science books, defeats that term. Sprawling is more apt in conveying not only the range of subjects, but my shelving methods as well. My library is rooted in my first life of academic and management positions at Rutgers, Princeton, Glassboro (now Rowan), and Temple (English, Psychology, Education, Research Methods & Statistics). But when my career path jumped to commercial real estate, the growth of my library became unhinged from my day job, and it has divagated like an errant traveler who senses the need to keep going even though he does not know and cares little for his actual destination. It is the experience of traveling that is meaningful to him. So it is with reading to me and I suspect most of those who truly enjoy the activity, and not just the fait accompli.
