Quote from one of my favourite writers

Wouldn't it be great if I could find one of her novels I hadn't read…don't think that will be happening but I could re read one.   I do remember particularly enjoying "The Sea,  the Sea".

“Of course reading and thinking are important but, my God, food is important too. How fortunate we are to be food-consuming animals. Each meal should be a treat and one ought to bless every day which brings with it a good digestion and the precious gift of hunger."
- Iris Murdoch, The Sea, The Sea
