| I saw Paul in Seattle at the Benaroya Hall a while back and he used this book as his lecture. I am sure he wasn't having the greatest of times and was probably meeting Jonathan R. afterwards for beer guzzling down by the pier or on Jonathans boat. I so badly wanted to shout out at Paul during his speaking so I could be in his next book as 'the heckler' but refrained to do so, although it may have been a thrill for Paul as the crowd was rather boring and did not seem to know his material very well. I did not stick around to bother him at the signing either although I now wish I had. He is my hero! No one has inspired me or recomended so many wonderful things and thoughts to me in my life! and I too make long lists of "new words" to learn while reading his books. (Reading the dictionary more than his). |
