- Alison Croggon: “For me writing remains, at a profound level, significantly about not having a career. In the older sense of the word, it is a vocation, a calling.”
- “He [Nabokov] said we did not need to know anything about their historical context, and that we should under no circumstance identify with any of the characters in them, since novels are works of pure invention. The authors, he continued, had one and only one purpose: to enchant the reader. So all we needed to appreciate them, aside from a pocket dictionary and a good memory, was our own spines.”
- “It’s been 26 years since The A-Team went off the air, but Mr. T remains genuinely loved, and the crowd was so into this. As the first two tries go just left, the disappointment is audible—and echoes exactly what you’re probably feeling as you watch the video.” (if you can get a link to working video, put it in the comments)
- I’m hoping to have an interview with someone who makes electronic/dance music up soon, but for now have this amazing Bach Harpsichord Concerto, BWV 984

Thanks, Ashok, I enjoyed the Bach. As Backlives2 commented… better than cheesecake.
