Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
Dear Maurice
I didn’t know what to get to tempt you back into the delights of reading… but what better than perverts’ pleasure: Lolita! Read & enjoy.
Love Susannah x
PS: Thank you for six wonderful weeks!
PPS: Yes, permission to vomit granted!!
Oh dear! Susannah can hardly have read the book – or if she has, she has utterly misunderstood it. A profound and moving masterpiece.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GUVNOR!

Is it not more appropriate to let life ask you about meaning rather than worrying yourself over life’s meaning? After all some would argue that it is a mystery to be lived rather than a problem to be solved!
Very few people have the ability to base their optimistic ideals in reality. You pull this off rather well Mr Senn, and I have no doubt that you will be able to get out of life whatever it is you dedicate yourself to. Keep living the dream!
