Best movie ever.
Joel is the first pipe smoker I met in the wild. His book store is a magical place. He used to have a secret room full of rare whiskey, but I think it's been overtaken by books.Wendell Berry was recommended to me by the pipe-smoking proprietor (straight peterson with 1-Q) of a bookshop in Franklin, Tennessee. We got talking about Bukowski, of whom he had the largest selection I've ever seen in a store (he is personally a fan). He featured an even larger display of Berry, who is new to me. He suggested this to start with. Loving it!
