Reading is to the mind like running is to the body. If a person wants to exercise their mind, read a good book.

I met WILLIAM FAULKNER in '59 when I visited in New Orleans. At The Absinthe, where there was no dance floor and no music playing, Faulkner came up and said, "May I have this dance?" On our way out of the bar, my boy Freddy came up to me. Faulkner looked at him, stopped in his tracks, and said "Chick Mallison." He left us on the sidewalk and went back into The Absinthe. Freddy always ruined things.

I have mixed feelings about Oprah's book club. Any book she endorses immediately shoots to the top of the best-seller list, but I often am not all the impressed by them. And it bothers me somewhat that just by her putting her name on these books, people assume that they are wonderful.

It seems odd that Oprah hasn't chosen any other books this year,, or maybe we're missing some? Does anyone know for sure? I have to admit I haven't watched her as much as I used to...
