More From Michael Korda

The current publishing scene is extremely good for the big, popular books. they sell them brilliantly, market them and all that. it is not good for the little books. and really valuable books have been allowed to go out of print. in the old days, the publishers knew that these difficult books, the books that appeal only to a minority, were very productive in the long run. because they're probably the books that will be read in the next generation.

In my culture, shoes are more or less the first thing women look at. women look at the build, and then they look at the shoes. if you don't have nice shoes, you don't have money. when i meet a lawyer, the first thing i look at are his shoes. if he has good shoes, he's getting my money.
Nice Shoes Culture
I was travelling with bruce sterling on our mutual difference engine tour and he became aware from the experience of travelling with me that i would distinguish among the shoes in a perfectly normal fashion, but form him it was a revelation. there's a very lyrical passage in holy fire about old wealthy european men and their shoes, and how beautiful their shoes are, and how there have never been shoes as beautiful. i think that that was probably as close as bruce will ever get to homage in my direction. i made him aware of footwear fashion.

The books in mo and meggie's house were stacked under tables, on chairs, in the corners of the rooms. there where books in the kitchen and books in the lavatory. books on the tv set and in the closet, small piles of books, tall piles of books, books thick and thin, books old and new. they welcomed meggie down to breakfast with invitingly opened pages; they kept boredom at bay when the weather was bad. and sometimes you fall over them.
Book Fall Weather
I am a product of endless books. my father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. there were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...in the seemingly endless rainy afternoons i took volume after volume from the shelves. i had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.

But tell me: how did gold get to be the highest value? because it is uncommon and useless and gleaming and gentle in its brilliance; it always gives itself. only as an image of the highest virtue did gold get to be the highest value. the giver's glance gleams like gold. a golden brilliance concludes peace between the moon and the sun. uncommon is the highest virtue and useless, it is gleaming and gentle in its brilliance: a gift-giving virtue is the highest virtue.
