Somany books, so little time. Terlalu banyak buku, terlalu sedikit waktu Sometimes depressed, stressed, but still well dressed. Terkadang depresi, stres.. Tetapi harus tetap berpakaian bagus. I rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I am not. Aku lebih baik dibenci karena siapa aku, daripada dicintai karena (sifat) yang bukan aku. Kumpulantulisan pada buku ini, saya bagi dalam beberapa kategori yakni Visi & Fiksi, Misi & Fakta, Serba-serbi, Tao & Tau, Aku & aku, Lab & data. Yang mana tujuan dari pembuatan buku ini adalah harapan agar buku ini menjadi inspirasi, motivasi dan kenangan sepanjang perjalanan kehidupan kita dalam kebersamaan. Peace and Love make us strong Sepertiungkapan dari Frank Zappa, "so many books so little time". Buku-buku bagus selalu memanggil-manggil untuk dikoleksi, tapi terlalu sedikit waktu untuk bisa membaca mereka. yang artinya saya harus mengorbankan jam tidur saya sendiri. *jadi curcol*. Yaaah, buku-buku yang ditimbun itu, insyaAllah, suatu saat, akan kami baca. Tapi Vay Tiền Trả Góp Theo Tháng Chỉ Cần Cmnd Hỗ Trợ Nợ Xấu. For independent booksellers & librarians, especially Nichelle Hayes Frequently during my mornings of pain & reflection when I can’t write or articulate my thoughts or locate the mindmusic needed to complete the poems & essays that are weeks plus days overdue forcing me to stop, I cease answering my phone, eating right, running my miles, reading my mail, and making love. Also, this is when my children do not seek me out because I do not seek them out. I escape north, to the nearest library or used bookstore. They are my retreats, my quiet energy-givers, my intellectual refuge. For me it is not bluewater beaches, theme parks, or silent chapels hidden among forest greens. Not multi-stored American malls, corporate book supermarkets, mountain trails, or Caribbean hideaways. My sanctuaries are liberated lighthouses of shelved books, featuring forgotten poets, unread anthropologists of tenure- seeking assistant professors, self-published geniuses, remaindered first novelists, highlighting speed-written bestsellers, wise historians & theologians, nobel, pulitzer prize, and american book award winners, poets & fiction writers, overcertain political commentators, small press wunderkinds & learned academics. All are vitamins for my slow brain & sidetracked spirit in this winter of creating. I do not believe in smiling politicians, AMA doctors, zebra-faced bankers, red-jacketed real estate or automobile salespeople, or singing preachers. I believe in books. It can be conveniently argued that knowledge, not that which is condensed or computer packaged, but pages of hard-fought words, dancing language meticulously & contemplatively written by the likes of me & others, shelved imperfectly at the level of open hearts & minds, is preventive medicine strengthening me for the return to my clear pages of incomplete ideas to be reworked, revised & written as new worlds and words in all of their subjective configurations to eventually be processed into books that will hopefully be placed on the shelves of libraries, bookstores, homes, & other sanctuaries of learning to be found & browsed over by receptive booklovers, readers & writers looking for a retreat, looking for departure & yes spaces, looking for open heart surgery without the knife. Posted by Joel on September 05, 2002In Reply to So many books, so little time posted by ESC on September 05, 2002Yes, but I keep wondering when the outcome of all this phrase-forum conversation we've been having here will be put between covers. This is scholarship we're undertaking here, folks. At this point, years have gone into there is access to it on the Web for which I am grateful!!, but a book would be handy. Our little forum here has been the confluence of many minds and also of the substance of many books in print and out of print. I, for one, would not mind my own contributions being made use of, along with those of others. joel Autumn is almost upon us and because I'm due to be very busy around the holidays, my thoughts have turned to Xmas lists and such.
