Funny how only older people get to do it. Youngsters, inexperienced, seem only capable of fumbling, although there is much to be said for youthful fondling.

Erm, it probably isn’t at all connected, but I thought I’d suggest it, just in case.

I’m partial to “Books as Furniture”, but that essay might not be in that section of the book. Either way, I recommend it.
