The Belly Button aka navel, omphalos and umbilicus is an on-line mouthpiece for navel gazing aka omphaloskepsis, contemplation of one's own navel as an aid to meditation. Marcel Proust was often described as doing that in his magnum opus Remembrance of Things Past, and a jolly good read it is too. On occasion TBB will be available as a petite mag in paper form chez DJANG.

Flaubert's Parrot
Gustave Flaubert rented a stuffed parrot while he wrote the book about Felicite. The black and white photograph at the top shows that one. Below/above an image of the book cover of Julian Barnes book Flaubert's Parrot.
