Oh joy.

Quote of the Week in the New York Times...Martin Amis says if he had a serious brain injury he might write books for kids. "I would never write about someone that forced me to write at a lower register than what I can write," Amis added. See a follow-up story in the Guardian.

Nice come-back by Lucy Coats and Charles London.

Teg Geisel--Dr. Suess--is one of the best writers ever, in my humble opinion. It sounds like Mr. Amis would do well to read a couple of his books.
