Funny you post this, Joffre. My wife once asked me to name something I really love in this world, and I told her I loved the word "pudding." She thought it was a hilarious response and she told all our friends about it, partly because instead of citing the "taste" of pudding I cited the "sound" of it, and partly because of all the things I could have said I loved, I said "pudding." Anyway, it was funny at the time...
On a related note, and speaking of people who love the sound of words, I was looking through the CBC Radio Archives just now and found this really interesting 1959 interview with Vladimir Nabokov, discussing "Lolita." The things you discover at 3 am while rocking your baby to sleep!
