How about Proust's In Search of Lost Time?" Tamaru asked. "If you've never read it this would be a good opportunity to read the whole thing." "Have you read it?" "No, I haven't been in jail, or had to hide out for a long time. Someone once said unless you have those kinds of opportunities, you can't read the whole of Proust.

One measures oncoming old age by its deepening of Proust, and its deepening by Proust. How to read a novel?

I've always believed in myself and I've surrounded myself with positive-thinking people.

Listen- my relationship with radio on a personal level is nothing but a one way love-a-thon... I love radio, I grew up on radio. That's where I heard Buddy Holly, that's where I heard Chuck Berry.

But we were on different sides of that argument, there's no question about that.
