"Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it." -- P.J. O'Rourke:

Ironically, Dahlink e-mailed the quote to me just before learning that one of the regular readers of Elizabeth Large's dining blog had died recently. He signed his comments Robert (the Single One) and often spoke about Book, his dining companion. He stopped by Read Street occasionally, too. When we discussed reading several books at once, he left this comment: "Book here. I allow him 2 books at a time, one in the car as a dining companion and one at home. Any more and he forgets what he's reading. Sad, but true."

I know that Elizabeth and the Dining@Large regulars will miss him. We will, too. I'm confident that his final read was excellent stuff.
