Besides a bright
bouquet of café tables set out around it, my tea caravan would have
bookshelves, well-stocked with summer reading—small, delicious bites.

- Thurber’s Fables
- Light-Gathering Poems
- Marcovaldo
- Virginia Woolf short-shorts
- Sudden Fiction short-shorts
- a whole shelf of Billy Collins
