What surprised me visiting people in the States was that they did not have any books on display in living rooms or anyplace else. Wondered - was it a use and dispose books culture? Then noticed the coffee table book style. Was it the people I was in contact with? When I searched for a room share on the Harvard campus noticed the exhibition of LP covers piles. Audio culture?
Later I built my entire library from books sold for a buck at St Agnes NYPL branch fairs.
They all make a library of books that I would love to have read. ...
As to titles of songs on my iPod? These are the tangos I would have danced.
and of course If I only had time

Got depressed when found out the sailing maps store on Duane St,. closed. Felt like I needed a scone or something. Went to Starbucks but clung to my diet and bought just a coffee. Needed something sweet and got four bananas for a buck from an Arab street vendor who was greeting a client with salamalekum. Crossed the street and saw a short line. A neighborhood Cuban store was giving free empanadas. Oh god had heard me. Next block by the subway stop got a free train ride from Nucky Thomson of Boardwalk Empire.
Only in America or should I say Only in New York.
