Sorry to have missed the discussion of The Carnivorous Lamb. I'd be interested to know if anyone has done a study about what might seem a logical coincidence of anarchy and homosexuality. Emma Goldman and her husband Alexander Berkman come to mind. Others?
Speaking of coincidence, it is amusing that this month's reading, We Think the World of You, should occur just as I've acquired two dogs. As I've said to friends, after batting zero on match.com for the last year, it seemed the simplest path to having someone to share meals. Having now read all four of Ackerley's books and started into the Parker biography it seems Joe Ackerley would would agree: to quote from the appendix to his My Father and Myself, "I was just under fifty when this animal [Tulip] came into my hands, and the fifteen years she lived with me were the happiest of my life." While I expect Koukou and JoJo to supply a share of happiness, I will be sad to miss the Ackerley discussion on their account. — Giogio

Congratulations, Joe! And thanks for sharing. If only we were meeting outside, you could bring your new roomies to discuss Ackerley next week! Cheers, Steve
