<p>At the time I'm reading Porius by John Cowper Powys and stories
by Borges and Pierre Michon. Porius is a bit hard to get through.
I find I'm more appreciative of short stories and essays as I get
older. I'm reading Azimov's magazine and Interzone and some other
magazines on and off. I'm memorizing psalms for a number of
years. Usually I read too many books at the same time.<br>
</p>
<p>I only write when I have to do a paper for an Open University
course. Never felt much artistic stirring or academic ambition.
Always thought the best is already written like the Bible or
Homer. <br>

<p>I read Clark Ashton a long time ago. I'll look into him again.</p>
