QUOTE : I like writing for its own sake, it gets you near doing something, something of your own. And I'm proud of my secret vice, my writing. Not many people can write at all - what would be the point these days, with the Viddy doing everything for you? - so just sitting down and writing makes me feel important. And reading Uncle Lipton's books has given me a taste for written words. He has all these books, hundreds of them. I don't think he reads them any more. He just talks about them. But to me, the books really mean something.
