Synopsis
Excerpt from Delicious Vice: Pipe Dreams and Fond Adventures of an Habitual Novel-Reader Among Some Great Books and Their People
And so, sighing to the uttermost ends of the earth, the old novel-reader will confess that he wishes he hadn't. Had not read all those novels that tr00p through his memory. Because, if he hadn't - and it is the impossibility of the alternative that chills his soul with the despair of cruel realization - if he hadn't, you see, he could begin at the very first, right then and there, and read the whole blessed business through for the first time. For the first time, mark you! Is there anywhere in this great round world a novel reader of true genius who would not do that with the joy of a child and the thankfulness of a sage?
