"\WE all know that man has a genius for inventing himself silly, and almost into extinction-his greatest achievement, still to come. But I would say that as far as eating and reading at the same time goes.‘ we are as yet in the neolithic stage We prop, we perch, we squirm, we teeter, plagued with pages that splay like a fan or see limply in the middle like a man with the stitch. It is hatd to get comfortable with a book, in the bath, in a hammock in a lower berth with the light castiag sidelong shadows. How much more diffi cult to, eat a peach as well. The juice? That skin?. Where?"’-J. Walshe. in 4n NZBS Book Shop talk.
