"The Book of Right On"
Anläßlich des "World Book Day" (ich dachte immer, der wäre am 23. April?) veröffentlichte die BBC heute das Ergebnis einer Umfrage zu den "lebenswichtigsten Büchern" der Briten.
Passend dazu u.a. hier Emily Dickenson's schönes
"He ate and drank the precious words -
His spirit grew robust -
He knew no more that he was poor,
Nor that his frame was Dust
He danced along the dingy Days
And this bequest of Wings
Was but a Book - What Liberty
A loosened Spirit brings -"
Ich feiere mit derzeit breitem Grinsen über Fielding's "Tom Jones" und:
Emily Haines - "Reading in Bed"
Joanna Newsom - "The Book of Right On"
Johnny Cash - "If you could read my mind"
Camera Obscura - "Books written for Girls"
