proximoceptionTurned 29, got the Longman v.2, am loving Little, Big though no longer sure where it's going. Haven't wanted a book to go on forever like this since Moby-Dick in 2003. Strange, lovely state of ultimate trust between author and reader. I've resolved to buy all cheap copies I run across hereforward, for distribution among the deserving.

April is the coolest month.

Yes, Swinburne's birthday is today (the 5th). And Baudelaire this week - on April 9th.

That's exactly what I've done over the last few years...
