______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The kind of humor I like is the thing that makes me laugh for five seconds and think for ten minutes = G. CARLIN...Stain glass, engraved glass, frosted glass –give me plain glass = JOHN FOWLES ... Music is the mathematics of the gods=PYTHAGORAS ... Nothing is more fluid than language = R. L. SWIHART
I cannot live without the oxygen of laughter = DAWN POWELL ...!!! ... But laughter cannot survive without the hydrogen of gravitas = PAUL OLIVERIO
I have a slender volume of his "best" but I don't think this is in it. If it isn't (my mind is mush) it should be. I also have his even thinner Nadja. A must read no matter your school, team, movement, etc.

The book I'll recommend for YOU (knowing your reading preferences) is Jose Saramago's CAIN
