"I wondered, for the first time in my life, if life was worth all the work it took to live. What exactly made it worth it? What's so horrible about being dead forever, and not feeling anything, and not even dreaming? What's so great about feeling and dreaming?"

Two new arrivals to my bookcase in the Sexton and Barthelme, a newish one in C, signed by Tom McCarthy when Laala and I went to see him speak at the London Review Bookshop, and an old(ish) but mostly unread one in Ulysses that I dug out on the advice of a professor to see the influence of the Calypso chapter in particular on the work of Saul Bellow.

Spent half of the afternoon rearranging one of my bookshelves. I’m really happy with it because I managed to fit about 350x more stuff on it, and it still looks organised!

“ I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves.
