recommended for: people who like linguistics
read in June, 2008
Alisha said:
"Aside from the fact that the title is taken from a line in "Agamemnon" (which makes it already unbearably cool) this is a breathtaking book. It took me about four chapters to get used to Faulker's style of writing- the dialects, the chapter...more

so frightening &wonderful-

Vintage clothing sounds fabulous.
You're right. It is badly written. But it's intriguing and I want to understand it more. Maybe we could have a book clubish discussion about it.
The blue bird of happiness but not the crocodile of unrequited sexual passions?
That's too bad. He's kind of lonely.
Two days! Whew. I'm glad that you and D aren't getting tired of us.
Yeah, still climbing. How's 8? Jon's going to come too. And I invited a friend of mine from work but she prob won't make it. Will Kevin be coming?
yay! Climbing party!
I already responded to this in person, but for the benefit of the goodreads community I will say--five minus! That's awesome. Like, totally rad man.
If it turns out that there is a God, I don't think that he's evil. But the worst that you can say about him is that basically he's an underachiever.
-Woody Allen
Saturday is fine, although we're having a little "next" ambiguity here. You will no doubt appreciate the fact that I said ambiguous here rather than vague. You can tell Dustin and you may both bask in the light of the remaining specificity of the language.
