Favorite Artist: That's an impossible question! Today, I'm looking forward to listening to Camper Van Beethoven and reading the novel Paradiso by Jose Lezama Lima. (I should have asked a better question.) The best thing (other than Hamlet) that I've read recently is _Rings of Saturn_ by W.G. Sebald. (It's not sci-fi; it's stories about the layers and interconnectedness of history in East Anglia). I'm looking forward to re-reading _Invisible Cities_ which I first read after moving to Gloucester but before becoming a teacher.
I like Moxie, especially old formula Moxie made at Twin Lights and served in a glass bottle at George's.

I’ve never tried Moxie, but my gramp drinks it all the time. He always tries to get me to try it, but everyone else in my family warns me not to do it. I’ve always taken their word for it because my gramp doesn’t have the best taste, but maybe I’ll decide to try it someday.

Today the line 7 on the 47th page of the novel freest to my hand reads: "If a bird were caught, he would grasp it with a fowler's firm yet pacifying grip, unsnare it, and with a casual action, as if he were shaking out a tea-towel wring its neck." (*Waterland* by Graham Swift...yikes.)
