My Interests

Books:

"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us....We need the books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us." - Franz Kafka.

Heroes:

Brian Wilson.

Country (to be continued)

1. Johnny Cash, and all that entails. 2. The only person who was ever as cool as Johnny Cash, was Dean Martin (trust me.) From the mid-sixties on, Dinos records were pretty much country records. 3. No...
