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.

Very wise teacher...
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
