Apocrypha

He's happy, he thinks. He must be - he has a window office.

He reads the canon. Has started Don Quixote, got some way through War & Peace, even managed a couple of chapters of Ulysses. They look great on his bookshelf.

He trusts the Masters. He knows they could paint and he knows they're not trying to trick him. Monet's his favourite - such lovely colours.

He listens to the classics. Beethoven is pleasant, though it's hard to tell when he's finishing. Mozart can be a bit out-there but is listenable, Wagner a bit rambunctious but some of it's okay.

His dvd collection is exemplary - Casablanca, Citizen Kane. He doesn't watch them a lot, comedy is more his thing - Adam Sandler especially. But he keeps these on the bottom shelf, a guilty pleasure. He deserves it, he works hard.

He has a window office.
