There is an amazing slide show of Mikhail Baryshnikov's photos of Merce Cunningham's work in the Sunday Times.

Knowledge - light

I read. I browse, I buy, I read, I sometimes sell, I have scouted for other people. I read, I have occasionally reviewed, I research, and sometimes, if a book is particularly old, or simply well-made, I will lift it to my nose and and breathe it in. Some people love the new car smell. I love the book smell.

I read by author, or genre, or whatever is available at the time. This year I have read an avalanche of mysteries and crime books- all of the Carol O'Connell books, many Rex Stout books, some Dick Francis books, many many "cozies," and I have just read a few of the Lincoln Rhyme books by Jeffrey Deaver, which I like alot.

Yesterday I read Sue Monk Kidd's "The Mermaid Chair," which I liked, although I found it oddly incomplete in a certain sense, regarding one of the primary relationships.

And other times I love to read biographies, and poetry, and books on music and photography. History, culture, and for God's sake, let us not forget the cookbooks. I love cookbooks.

Reading for me is much the same as coffee. Although I love a fresh, delicious cup of well made coffee, I would rather have a bad cup than none at all.
