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 म्हणाले...

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

madAsHell म्हणाले...

How do you find this stuff?

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

Saint Croix म्हणाले...

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!

leslyn म्हणाले...

Awwww. You read my email!

leslyn म्हणाले...

(That was Dobby the Chihuahua mix speaking. She especially liked the corgi too.)

Penny म्हणाले...

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

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

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

Astro म्हणाले...

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

traditionalguy म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

Big lick and a tail wag for tradguy!

Penny म्हणाले...

Not a corgi, but sure was fun pretending.

Feeling better, tg?

Penny म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

It's a shaggy dog story!

The Corgi made it all better.

Penny म्हणाले...

You betcha!

Penny म्हणाले...

Know who else said that?

"You betcha!"

Ha ha Groucho Marx, for cripes sake.

"You betcha life".

Craig म्हणाले...

My otter wants me to finish Anathem and Reamde.

Patrick म्हणाले...

This Honey Badger doesn't give a shit.

lemondog म्हणाले...

Think they might have been disappointed in us ?

Rusty म्हणाले...

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

Petunia म्हणाले...

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

Lem the artificially intelligent म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

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