Dissipation and Passion in Pleasure-Mad Europe

she.jpgI miss wife and kid very much. And I've now declared my allegiance to the 'higher' literary virtues. And Belle won't be blogging for a while, so she shouldn't mind the crap picture of the girl. So it's time for a new look. (Hit reload if it isn't working for you.) It's interesting to see how classic novels were, um, packaged as paperbacks more than half a century ago. Click to see what I'm talking about.

I like the new look, seems appropriate in the current situation: our protagonist stares wistfully at a photo of his absent love . . .

Will you be weaving us shattering blog posts of dissipation and passion (other people's) in pleasure-mad Singapore?

  • Confused by our comment policy?

    We're testing a strong CC license as a form of troll repellant. Does that sound strange? Read this thread. (I know, it's long. Keep scrolling. Further. Further. Ah, there.) So basically, we figure trolls will recognize that selling coffee cups and t-shirts is the best revenge, and will keep away. If we're wrong about that, at least someone can still sell the cups and shirts. (Sigh.)
