    Bob Dylan
  • Maya Angelo is my favorite poet...

    But then of course i love above all, Bob Dylan. He's never let me down... well perhaps a tiny bit in the 80's? But we wont waste time on that! ;-)
  • A park on a sunny day. A cafe in a sweet little village. On a train or in a car or on a plane on a long journey. I like to feel part of two worlds at a time... it feels like I'm surrounded by the world I'm in, but immersed in the world that I'm reading about... the one that lives on paper and in your immagination.

    Its like a secret that only you and the author share, whilst everyone else is merely looking on wondering what's going on. ;-)
