I'm at the stage of life when kitchen appliances excite me! I just got my first rice cooker. I'm using it to make not only rice but also egg dishes. I'm looking forward to trying out all kinds of recipes.
David Foster Wallace interview with Charlie Rose in 1997
"What drew me into writing was mostly memories of really fun rainy afternoons spent with a book. It was a kind of a relationship. I think part of the fun, for me, was being part of some kind of an exchange between consciousnesses, a way for human beings to talk to each other about stuff we can't normally talk about. There's this part that makes you feel full. There's this part that is redemptive and instructive, [so that] when you read something, it's not just delight you go, ‘Oh my god, that's me! I've lived like that, I've felt like that, I'm not alone in the world."
— David Foster Wallace, from an interview with Charlie Rose
