The author of the Bond books (I forgot his name)
Ian Fleming
As the player's breath warms the fipple the tone clears.
It is time to consider how Domenico Scarlatti
condensed so much music into so few bars
with never a crabbed turn or congested cadence,
never a boast or a see-here; and stars and lakes
echo him and the copse drums out his measure,
snow peaks are lifted up in moonlight and twilight
and the sun rises on an acknowledged land.
Basil Bunting, Briggflatts

I've just begun Plain Living: A Quaker Path to Simplicity by Catherine Whitmire.

Right now I'm reading " A Confederacy Of Dunces" by John Kennedy Toole. I love this book. I can so identify with Ignatius Reilly! He is very aspie-like. :smile:

You read dictionaries?
Why not, after all every book that has ever been written started as words in a dictionary. There are so many fascinating (e.g. good, great, interesting, neat, pleasant, enjoyable, wonderful, terrific) words to find (e.g. explore, discover, learn of, uncover).
Just heard on the BBC breakfast news that Dr Johnson's dictionary celebrates its 250th anniversary today. Bibliophiles of the world unite!

Ever seen the Blackadder show about Dr Johnson? Very reverent...

I'm currently reading the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett, as well as the Otherland series by Tad Williams. Another series well worth reading if you like fantasy is The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan.

Another good book: "Defending the Cavewoman and other tales of evolutionary neurology" by Harold L. Klawans. It's fascinating and easy to understand without being overly simple. It examines case studies and explains how certain "bad traits" may actually be useful, just for a purpose we may not see. Very interesting read.
