A good day is one where I can not just read a book, but write a review of it. Maybe today I'll be able to do that. I get for some reason somewhat stronger when the sun starts to go down. Dusk is a good time for me. I'm crepuscular. ↗

Religion is part of the human make-up. It's also part of our cultural and intellectual history.

And when I was young, my family was perfectly nice. I write a lot about it, as you noticed. But it was rather limited.

It was as if I wanted to get away from home. ↗

I feel upsettingly de-natured. If Penelope Cruz were one of my nurses, I wouldn't even notice. ↗
