A propos de ma bibliothèque: Just a few good friends and immediate interests. I read mostly fiction up to age 40, and now it's entirely nonfiction. Madly collecting sequential art, comics, graphic novels, which are closely aligned to poetry: It is with words as with sunbeams, the more they are condensed, the deeper they burn. -Robert Southey (1774-1843).
A propos de moi: The image to the right is from the PBS documentary, "My Name is Belle," awarded the CINE in 2007.
