Non-Doggy Reading (from Geoff)
-------------------
In honor of Dr. J's tercentenary, there are some new biographies to
read. I'll start with Samuel Johnson: The Struggle by Jeffrey Meyers who seems to write a book or two every week. May have to re-read Bate, Wain, and Fussell, too. If I could travel back in time, one of the people I should like to meet is Himself, maybe at the house in Gough Square. --------------------

when they are incensed, or crushed: for prosperity doth best discover
vice, but adversity doth best discover virtue.
. Hope is a good breakfast, but it is a bad supper.
. Nothing doth more hurt in a state than that cunning men
pass for wise.
