Haven't I? -- he thought. Haven't I thought of it since the first time I saw you? Haven't I thought of nothing else for two years?. . . He sat motionless, looking at her. He hear the words he never allowed himself to form, the words he had felt, known, yet had no faced, had hoped to destroy by never letting them be within his own mind, Now it was as sudden and shocking as if he were saying it to her…Since the first time I saw you…. Nothing but your body, that mouth of yours, and the way your eyes would look at me, if…. Through every sentence I ever said to you, through every conference you thought were so safe, through the importance of all the issues we discussed…. You trusted me, didn't you? To recognize greatness? To think of you as you deserved -- as if you were a man?

I remember copying down quotes from that book. Who knows what I did with that notebook.

I saw Ayn Rand and used the opportunity to beat on Objectivism in her face.

I liked it. But I can see how you might not.

Poor Ayn Rand.

Sort of like Salinger.

Perhaps. But not quite sane by most people's definition of the word. Fascinating though.

I heard a marvelous interview with Neil Gaiman on "Fresh Air" with Terry Gross on NPR. I could listen to that man talk all day.

Sometimes cows are nice. But sometimes they kick people for kicks.
