Practical First Aid
Mr. Benson
Pedagogy of the Oppressed
The Autobiography of Red

And, as always, Shakespeare’s sonnets

And on the other side of the bed:
Dune
Sandman
Harley Manual

What is Dr. Fell listening to?

The Tallis Scholars sing Thomas Tallis Spem in alium(40-part Motet)

Believe it or not, twink gave it to him.

Glenn Gould playing Bach’s Goldberg variations

What is Dr. Fell singing?

He has a fine baritone.The boys claim he only knows madrigals and songs with hey nonny nonny. They 're almost right!  

In Back in the Day he cuts loose in the shower with some Carmen! 

Rather more in character, he sings John Barleycorn Must Die in Attitude Adjustments.

Just for Charlie he does indeed Hey nonny nonny when he sings Sigh No More in Dolorosa.

 And he even sings a lullaby -- You Spotted Snakes in Flying Pigs. Imagine it in a baritone! 

You spotted snakes with double tongue,
Thorny hedgehogs, be not seen;
Newts and blind-worms, do no wrong,
Come not near our fairy queen.

Sonnet 58
William Shakespeare

That god forbid that made me first your slave
I should in thought control your times of pleasure,
Or at your hand th'account of hours to crave,
Being your vassal bound to stay your leisure. 
O, let me suffer, being at your beck,
Th'imprisoned absence of your liberty;
And patience, tame to sufferance, bide each cheek
Without accusing you of injury.
Be where you list; your charter is so strong
That you yourself may privilege your time
To what you will; to you it doth belong
Yourself to pardon of self-doing crime.
I am to wait, though waiting so be hell,
 Not blame your pleasure, be it ill or well.
