Ah crap...I just realized what the death of kudzu really means. |
|
I need to open up a bottle of Jameson 1780 12-year Reserve, read the whole damn thing, and then start reading Finnegan's Wake.
Wish me luck!

2. The kudzu thread will make more sense than Finnegan's Wake... |
|
sheesh, give yourself a chance. At least try Ulysses or Portrait of the Artist or something.

4. A wise English teacher once said about "Finnegan's Wake"... |
|
"There's a fine line between experimentalism and crap. I believe it is the latter."
I haven't read Ulysses but I have read Portrait of the Artist and Dubliners.

Finnegan's Wake is crap.
You can debate Ulysses, since it's almost -- but not quite -- as ponderous.
Portrait and Dubliners are pretty good though :thumbsup:

17. Yeah, I enjoyed both of them. |

She was quite quotable. Another girl and I actually compiled seven typed pages of quotes from our two years with her. Upon graduation, we gave her a copy and distributed them to the English department. She loved it.

7. I have not opened nor commented in that thread. |
|
Did it get locked? Do I need to read it before it goes away?
I don't know why I've been holding out.

14. It was locked for shits and giggles. |
|
Of course, it just resulted in having 50 kudzu threads on the front page instead of one.

8. How can Jameson 1780 be a 12-year reserve? |
|
Shouldn't it be a 226-year reserve?

13. I don't know why it's called 1780. It just is. |
|
It's a 12 year reserve though. There's also had 18 year reserve, but I've never even seen that in a liquor store.

26. No don't do that! Read the Nibelungenlied instead, I just finished it... |

what a story! When you have finished, you can compare it to the Volsung Saga and Thidrek's Saga
