Otter never really tried to read Wallace, in fact.

I find him easier to listen to via audio books. The beauty of his prose and sentences comes through.

edutcher ayon kay ...

Otters have a lot of fun in the water, so it probably doesn't read.

madAsHell ayon kay ...

How do you find this stuff?

No...wait, I should ask, how do you find TIME to find this stuff?

Saint Croix ayon kay ...

Actually, this corgi thinks you're doing just fine. Because screw those other guys. "Keep up the great work," says this corgi, "I'm proud of you!"

Dogs are awesome. Get a dog, Althouse!

Penny ayon kay ...

Queen Elizabeth knew just what she was doing... breeding all those Corgis.

Ann Althouse ayon kay ...

How did I find that? Just going to one thing and noting those other links in the margin.

Astro ayon kay ...

That's why I have a Corgi.
No pigeons, there, huh? No doubt plotting in secrecy, while trying to avoid those reactionary zebras.

traditionalguy ayon kay ...

That was so good that I am still laughing and crying.

Maybe some people do get reincarnated into animals. I remembere several of those animals from when they were in human bodies.

I need some more corgis @32 and less cats @ 33 these days.

Penny ayon kay ...

Big lick and a tail wag for tradguy!

Penny ayon kay ...

Not a corgi, but sure was fun pretending.

Feeling better, tg?

Penny ayon kay ...

Deborah said, "Fox paws and lady parts. This is a very poetic thread."

She didn't say it here, but she did say it!

Either one political post up or one political post down, not sure which anymore.

Penny ayon kay ...

Sure hope deborah doesn't mind that I quoted her here instead of there?

Yeah, it's out of context now, but?

She WAS talking about animals, and so were we!

David ayon kay ...

It's a shaggy dog story!

The Corgi made it all better.

Penny ayon kay ...

You betcha!

Penny ayon kay ...

Know who else said that?

"You betcha!"

Ha ha Groucho Marx, for cripes sake.

"You betcha life".

Craig ayon kay ...

My otter wants me to finish Anathem and Reamde.

Patrick ayon kay ...

This Honey Badger doesn't give a shit.

lemondog ayon kay ...

Think they might have been disappointed in us ?

Rusty ayon kay ...

This human thinks the human that thought that shit was cute should be beaten with a 2x4.

Petunia ayon kay ...

Indignant starfish wonders why you got home so late last night.

Lem Vibe Bandit ayon kay ...

I didn't finish Infinite Jest.

I impulsively bought it after reading about his death here.

and imperceptibly stopped reading it around page 100? cant remember exactly.

Sigivald ayon kay ...

The Otter would be more disappointed to know I've never given a damn about Wallace or any of his books.
