That said, seeing Lynda Barry at the Free Library was one of the best things I've done in a long, long time. In terms of speaking events that have rocked my world, she stands alongside Governor Jerry Brown and Kurt Vonnegut and Ira Glass for most memorable public lectures. Definitely. And I go to a lot of these freaking things. She might very well have been the best I've ever seen. No, Vonnegut was the best, but she might be a tight second.

He just said he had made choices, and that the arguments over the choices would be as valuable as the choices.
