This is a lovely book. I really enjoyed it—partly, I suspect, because I have a similar sense of humour to that of the author and also because I am generally curious about life. [...] The author is good at explanations. I like that. Eclectic—that’s what this book is. And rambling—in a good way (after all, these are walks). I liked it. I hope Richard Carter is writing another volume of his thoughts. I’ll buy it.

This week marks the 30th anniversary of the death of one of the world's finest entertainers...
The one & only GROUCHO MARX
He made some great films. Unlike his near death-date contemporary, the King.
I have read his letters. He was a very well-read and entertaining man.
Groucho, I mean; not Elvis.
My uncle used to look just like him. That was during his painted-on-moustache period.
My uncle's that is; not Groucho's or Elvis's.
