Now Chemda is a dried up JAP with no prospects. Keith is a drunken loser who will be a 40 year old waiter.
I may start listening again to see where this train wreck is headed.
You know we give your life nothing short of meaning.

I'm begging you to stop listening. Begging. Stop doing me favors already.

I promise you will never leave our lives, whether we're seperate or together. And though you and I won't keep in touch, never forget that I never forgot.

Also Eco is a very annoying figure down here. Typical pompous talentlesss academic who enjoys playing the intellectual bufoon on the papers and has done some of the most butchgering translation work i've ever witnessed.
Your Eco hate makes me sad
I really dug foucault's pendulum

Do you have an opinion on Italo Calvino?
He's my favorite Italian author

He was born in Cuba - but his parents were Italian, he grew up in Italy, and he wrote in Italian.

That said, still one of my favorite authors - regardless of nationality

Yeah, I know, just messing. I thought about expounding on his inherent Cuban-ness, but I'm just not feeling that silly. I think I read one book of his, maybe two, in translation, of course. If I remember correctly it was quite good.

So pretty much I've said nothing. Oh well.

I think I was just thrown by the favorite Italian author thing. Are we putting the Latin speakers in a separate category? What about playwrights and opera...wrights? I'm not gonna hit you with any "but what about?" questions, cos frankly, I can't think of a lot of Italian/Latin fiction writers.

And as a side question, are you reading him in Italian?

Again, no more jokey jokey. Actual curiousity.
