John Dunning Quotes

Carol Would Not Be A Bad One To [settle Down] With. She's Pretty And Bright, And Maybe This Is What Love Is. She's Good Company: Her Interests Broaden Almost Every Day. She Reads Three Books To My One, And I Read A Lot. We Talk Far Into The Night. She Still Doesn't Understand The First Edition Game: Hemingway, She Says, Reads Just As Well In A Two-bit Paperback As He Does In A $500 First Printing. I Can Still Hear Myself Lecturing Her The First Time She Said That. Only A Fool Would Read A First Edition. Simply Having Such A Book Makes Life In General And Hemingway In Particular Go Better When You Do Break Out The Reading Copies. I Listened To Myself And Thought, This Woman Must Think I'm A Government-inspected Horse's Ass. Then I Showed Her My Faulkners, One With A Signature, And I Saw Her Shiver With An Almost Sexual Pleasure As She Touched The Paper Where He Signed. Faulkner Was Her Most Recent God[.]
