84, Charing Cross Road

I love inscriptions on flyleaves and notes in margins, I like the comradely sense of turning pages someone else turned, and reading passages someone long gone has called my attention to.

If you happen to pass by 84 Charing Cross Road, kiss it for me? I owe it so much…

i go through life watching the english language being raped before me face. like miniver cheevy, i was born too late. and like miniver cheevy i cough and call it fate and go on drinking.

you see how it is, frankie, you're the only soul alive who understands me.

From where I sit, London’s a lot closer than 17th Street.
