Well this is it — the last stop before the final push! Just 7 days till we receive Ultimate Wisdom! Woo!
\nI enjoyed the last week’s reading, packed with taffy bits, although I’ll confess to getting pretty lost during the FF sequence. I’ll hafta go back and give that another read.
\nOne recent passage I thought I’d pull out for the thread, on page 691 (p\/v): “You didn’t like the haiku. It wasn’t ethereal<\/i> enough? Not Japanese at all? In fact it sounded like something right outa Hollywood<\/i>? Well, captain — yes you, Marine Captain Esberg from Pasadena — you have just had, the Mystery Insight! (gasps and a burst of premonitory applause) and so you — are our Paranoid . . . For The Day!)” which I thought was a really nice explicit statement re what we’ve talked about a fair bit here on the thread — the often cartoony\/genre-heavy\/cinematic style of the proceedings. It doesn’t necessarily say why he’s doing it, but at least it does say that we’re all named Captain Esberg from Pasadena. And again: Woo!
\nNext week:<\/b> What can I say? See you on the other side. Perhaps it’ll be like the end of Narnia, and we’ll all be partying with the dead. Reepicheep! Peter Sachsa! Here I come!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
