Oysters and "Shandy"
'M a confirmed public reader myself, especially at lunchtime, and I" feel bitterly anti-social towards well-mean-ing people who come and sit down at my table and distract me from my book. The Reverend Sidney Smith used to say that in his idea heaven must be very like eating caviare to the sound of trumpets. That, of course, would be very pleasant; but my own idea of heaven is eating two dozen Stewart Island oysters -raw, with lemon juice-and reading _ Tristram Shandy at the same time.From an NZBS Book Shop programme.
