Whenever anyone asks me what book I would take with me to a desert island,
I reply, "The phone book: with all those characters, I could invent an
infinite number of stories.
-- Umberto Eco
If I could read your mind, love,
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel,
The kind the drugstore sells,
When you reach the part where the heartaches come,
The hero would be me,
Heroes often fail,
You won't read that book again, because
the ending is just too hard to take....
