Welcome to Week 3, in which are found the disparate comments of the mug-net inclined, along with other unexpected epistles.<\/i> Speaking of which, 26 people are still mug-net qualified. Jinkies!
\nOn each of these ‘marches so far, I’ve especially dug the end of Week 2 — past page 100, the book starts to take hold. From last week’s comments, it sounds like a lot of us were applauding Chapters 12-14, with the build up to Marcela’s soliloquoy (if you prick her, does she not bleed?) followed by a shining moment for DQ: “Let no person, whatever his circumstance or condition, dare to follow the beautiful Marcela lest he fall victim to my fury and outrage.” Not that she needs his help, or that anyone’s even necessarily paying attention. But still, that’s our Don!
\nAnd then there’s Chapter XV, with what has to be my favorite line so far: “I wish I had enough breath to speak with less effort and that the pain I feel in this rib would ease just a little so that I could make clear to you, Panza, how wrong you are.” If this was the ’70s, I’d slap that puppy on a t-shirt, and my fortune would be made.
\nAll in all, it’s been a real treat so far, and I’m glad to have so many excellent ‘marchers along for the trek.
\nNext Wednesday<\/b>: We careen on, with vigor! Let’s meet up on page 172 at the end of Chapter XXII, just before what I’m told is one of the strangest adventures recounted in this true history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
