W.T., I read Tolkein only once. That was almost more than enough, although I'm glad I read him.

I judge the value of a book by how many times I read it. I like the books and writers that obsess me.

I have an abiding love for the short story. JCO, Alice Munro, Bierce, Tobias Wolfe, so many. I'd like to plug Tom McGuane, whose 'Cloudbursts' consists of 61 stories, every one of them good.

Und eine Schillerstrasse, John. I think that Christopher Marlowe really did sell his soul to the devil. Goethe? No, I'd wager that he didn't.
