M Train by Patti Smith is an expensive book to read, as I follow up on Smith's book meanderings, and, "oh, this would be a great book for J....," "S.... would love this book" "Would the new bookstore in Inglewood have a copy of this?" and "What else has she written? Poetry?! I'll order one of those..." I loved the random meanderness of her writing, with the delicious ambiguity of whether this is memory or dream or waking dream. And the coffee, my substance of choice. “Home is a desk. The amalgamation of a dream. Home is the cats, my books, and my work never done." provides an endorsement for my eccentric living. “Every morning I got up, put on my coat and watch cap, grabbed my pen and notebook, and headed across Sixth Avenue to my café.”  "... a long, unwinding scroll that I would one day amuse myself by filling. I'm going to remember everything and then I'm going to write it all down. An aria to a coat. A requiem for a café.”  See https://www.brainpickings.org/2015/11/02/patti-smith-favorite-books-m-train/?fbclid=IwAR2JppGnMzmWIn2PTe08CDER3uqll1E6IBj0mi-uQakVjuO8-HnVR42wa5E
