I'm a little more extreme than a homebody. Unless there's some event I really have to go to, I don't like to leave my house.
New York is an exciting town where something is happening all the time, most unsolved.
Do not suppose, however, that I intend to urge a diet of classics on anybody. I have seen such diets at work. I have known people who have actually read all, or almost all, the guaranteed Hundred Best Books. God save us from reading nothing but the best.
