Those are two great sentences indeed. The combination that is.
I once would like to make such a trip, but then again, I recently followed the trip of some reporter on StuBru-radio and I remember the reporter saying "please, get a needle ready to put in my ankles".

As a shoe, I love Campers. Tomorrow, though, I think I'm going to buy some tweed Nikes.

silk road

I've read this book, and I certainly can recommed it to you. Thubron doesn't write much about shoes, though.

On the other hand, if you want to erase yourself with shoes, you can go to Zappos.com and browse there for hours. By the way i really hate them cause they do not ship to Israel and they don't accept non-American credit cards. Still, this is my favorite museum.

Arnon, maybe one day you will make the same trip and write a book about it ‘How I walked the silk road solely on Italian shoes’. Although it is not recommended to travel trough Pakistan now or in the near future. Goodbye Chitral nights.

I have a weak spot for comfortable shoes. Hogan's do the trick for me.

I didn't like Zappos.com. They don't have shoes that appeal to me.
I went to the shoeshop today, but for some unknown reason the door didn't open.

Dens, your are a man, right? Their women collection is simply huge.

Shoes

My goodness, all those shoes, and not yet satisfied! But then, as my best friend once said, it is not somebody’s fault if he or she is spoiled.

horseshoe ;)?

Dear Arnon,

What I need is a horseshoe, and, knowing you recently turned your back at all those bickering 'Dutch authors', I can only hope you'll regard me as none of them ;)

My 'Dutch' novel has been partially translated: a self-financed translation of a self-published book with a snappy title: "Don't show, don't tell." For even the writers adage needs its exeption, I have written this novel to tell and show more of a woldwide phenomenon: childporn/childabuse. Since you yourself got gripped by two of Thubron's sentenses I give you two shorter ones out of DSDT: " Childabuse: terrorism one on one" and " Both are inseparable as Siamese twins".

It so happens I quote more then a few autors mentioned in the September 9, 2007 NYTimes article " No thanks, Mr. Nabokov" by David Oshinsky. In the archives of Knopf Inc he had found a few now world famous authors that got brushed of earlier, one of them notably 'our' Anne Frank...

Now I am trying to find a mag/agent/publisher in the US/UK. Goto website under 'contact' for the (still in)complete English text. Sincerely hope your horseshoe fits...

Happy Newyear! Victor Crebolder

Victor

I'm not sure what you expect me to do.

Maybe he needs a blurp, or some patronage. Maybe he expects us, commentators, to read/buy his book. I hope his writings are more clear than his comments. Or is that too bold to say?
