From the time I was a little boy I found myself reading history when I had a choice. I read a lot of things, but history had a special appeal for me.
Nothing is as peevish and pedantic as men's judgments of one another.
And for some reason, when I'm sad, I do listen to Leonard Cohen, I do listen to Joni Mitchell. I do find myself going to the music that's actually reflecting my mood, as opposed to sticking on Motown, which might actually bring my mood up.
