Can you tell I do all of my writing sitting on my couch?


Three stacks of books sitting on my coffee table:

  • The Encyclopedia of Useless Information
  • The Hollywood Book of Scandals
  • From ABBA to Zoom
  • The Great Gatsby
  • The Last Days of Dead Celebrities
  • The Hollywood Book of Death

  • On the Road
  • At Random: The Reminiscences of Bennett Cerf
  • The Seven Lady Godivas
  • The Man Who Was Dr. Seuss
  • Dr. Seuss and Mr. Geisel
  • The Seuss, the Whole Seuss and Nothing But the Seuss
  • Dr. Seuss: American Icon

  • Final Exits: The Illustrated Encyclopedia of How we Die
  • The Wordy Shipmates
  • 5 People Who Died During Sex
  • A Great and Terrible Beauty
  • Love in the Time of Cholera
  • The Secret of Lost Things

Couple of fiction books in there, but largely trivia and research. And an alarming number of books about death. Hmm. I am creepy.

I met a possum on the road, I asked him where he's gwine ...

Learned that from me grandpa, back in the summer of '42 or 3 ... he taught me how to play that on the piano, the only piece I ever learned.

Well, Stout's Wolfe solved his mysteries from behind his desk or standing among his orchids ... ain't nothing much wrong with the couch.

Random's Cerf was more than a humorist, he was a wit of the highest order ... came across almost as unassuming ... very smart man, methinks.

Were I to do my writing sitting on my couch, nobody could read it ... so I don't ...

Maybe I should try it ... nobody reads what I write anyway!

Love to have you visit our blog and comment about whatever strikes your fancy(whatever is mindtriggered by what you there see) ... all while sitting on your couch!

You can also write a guest post or seven, again while sitting on the couch ... on anything you wish.

We'd like that, methinks ... that's the "what," ... email me at bob.oldbarbershop@gmail.com and we'll figure out the "how"!
