Does a bag of Scrabble tiles count as a luxury item?

Good then.

All of Sufjan Stevens works are good. The best for me is “the avalanche” album. If Araucaria reads this then great,

Nice one Araucaria. Play Play Play….

Encyclopedias are frowned on, but I don’t know about dictionaries.

Jake: Araucaria is a retired Church of England clergyman. I guess that makes him a Christian.

Then anything by Sufjan Stevens. Preferably from his Michigan or Illinoise albums would suit the mood.

For the book either Chamber’s or the Bible.

[How is it, that, so many times, there are no comments for ages, then two come together? :-) ]

I prefer your choice of song, so I hope you’re right!

Perhaps we should open a book on this. It will certainly be a fascinating programme: I wouldn’t miss it for anything!
