One of the annoying things about Adam Curry is that just when I think I've got him pegged as a stoner who got lucky, he does something that indicates that there's more behind those pink glasses than his pop-culture self lets on. In this case, it was quoting Robertson Davies, which lead me to assorted quotes by Robertson Davies, which lead me to this reminder of how much I enjoyed re-reading The Cornish Trilogy[Wiki] a few months ago:

A truly great book should be read in youth, again in maturity and once more in old age, as a fine building should be seen by morning light, at noon and by moonlight.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
