13 weeks in now, fellow lit folks dropping all around us. Good folks. Strong folks. We march on.
\nLike I think pretty much everyone, the Quaternions wore my marching toes down to a nub, but I liked Bradh’s take on it in the comments: “I read the maths like a foreign language: just to enjoy the rhythms of the words.”
\nThings started to get a little zippy with Kit and G\u00fcnther\u2019s duel (“how lucky to have provoked your quarrel here, in the dueling capital of Germany”), the return of Lew, Lew’s encounter with the hanging man, gas traffic, and then Kit, Foley, and the mickfest. By the time we met the “jelly doughnut” man, it was like being handed a new pair of sugar powdered socks.
\nIf you get a chance, take an amble back in time to one of the early posts. I wandered through Week 2<\/a> this morning, tipping my invisible hat brim to lost companions — calliscrapy, buffo, Ms. Maggo, AnemicPrince…. We’re down to around 14 hardy souls now. We few, we proud, we folks who get to enjoy lines like “a dog was howling at a moon no one could see, perhaps imagining that, summoned repeatedly enough, it would appear with food of some kind” and names like “Gus Swallowfield” and “Willi Dingkopf.”
\nTuesday 5\/1:<\/b> Part Four’s within reach, so let’s lunge for the bottom of page 693, where I for one plan to howl hungrily “at the unexplained and unresponsive moon.”
\n(which is to say…. please use this thread to comment on anything up to page 693. Aim to finish reading that part of the book and to comment on it here by end o’ day next Monday)<\/i>
\nPugnax!
