Philosophy, Waters style

I have a cold and it was the full moon and I’m mucho hormonal.
Plus it’s been cold.
All in all, Not a great weekend.
On the plus side,
The Habs beat the Maple Leafs 2-0 on Saturday,
 and the Alouettes are Grey Cup bound.
The Grey Cup,
in case anyone is interested,
is the Canadian equivalent of the Superbowl
and this year will be the 98 Th,
so not a new thing on our Canadian landscape.
I wanted to share with you all a quote I came across on Bookshelf Porn.
If any of you are not familiar with Bookshelf Porn,
you should be,
 you will love it.
Beautiful pictures of books and or bookshelves.
Mind Blowing.
So without further ado the quote:
We need to make books cool again. If you go home with somebody and they don’t have books, don’t fuck them.

– John Waters

Rarely have I found a quote to be truer or more provocatively put.

I realise I may be preaching to the choir here,

because who but bookish types would read this blog, anyway.

A while back,

I wrote a blog post about,

 how kindness may be more important to me than a physical attraction,

excerpt:

So, here’s where I feel like a Martian,

to me physical attraction grows with how

smart, interesting and kind a person is.

 Obviously, there can be no repugnance factor, but,

really it grows. 

Maybe what I meant to say is,

 no books, no chance.

There could be exceptions,

a pile of New Yorkers with a library card on top,

that would work.

A bookshelf filled with the complete works of  Dr. Phil,

would on the other hand,

 work as well as a room full of taxidermy.

I am not a snob,

 I could deal with a Danielle Steele and a few Star Trek novels,

after all,

 I have been known to read romance novels

 and occasionally,

Cosmo,

I read it for the pictures.

But, like my man Waters,

no books, no nooky.

I love succinctness.

But, it could be the fever.

Later girls

All in good jest.

I am a bookish butch in my mid early fifties. I live in Montréal and always have. I used to run a small used bookstore. Reading keeps me sane. My latest jiggie is photography, book project in the works, living the dream
