I started reading Miller when I was about 18. I loved hearing about Paris and dreaming about being an ex-pat ANYWHERE. I was living in Dallas at the time, so you could probably understand why I wanted to be anywhere else. I was surrounded by so many great creative people. Writers, artists, musicians, etc. My favorite thing to do was go to a little coffee shop in winter, get cozy by the fireplace, buy one cup of coffee and read Miller while getting free refills all day. I was wired and happy by the time I left. It was all I could afford to do and I was ok with that. Anyway, Quiet Days in Clichy was that book and I read it over and over again. Then moved on to so many other great Miller books. His writing had such an influence over my life. Glad to be a part of this tribe!! Thanks for letting me reminiscence for a bit. hugs, Alanna P.S. Yes, Opus Pistorum is INDEED the raunchiest of them all. Love it!!! I maanaged to get a first edition of that and go back and read it every once in a while when I'm feeling raunchy. ;) Wed, 10 Nov 2004 19:00:48 GMT http://henrymiller.tribe.net/thread/7c252cde-547c-41e7-b172-67b05e1f6ec4#1a5b8377-43ca-469a-b1bd-1f98c7f7a48a $item.owner.firstName 2004-11-10T19:00:48Z
