Funny, my mom always used to complain toward the end of a family vacation that she needed a vacation from the vacation. :) I hope you enjoy the trip. I'm excited to be back on the blog.Joseph Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00090686611405364311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-395948500312534280.post-76978370139619133772011-07-26T11:46:05.199-06:002011-07-26T11:46:05.199-06:001.

This chapter reminded me quite a bit of "Canterbury Tales."<br />2. Agreed. Possibly because there's nothing else to do except talk?<br />3. Yeah, I didn't think of that, but it does have a feel of "Kim" about it for sure. And, while I would never read "Kim" again, you may be right about it slightly improving its image now that it's in concept. The book that has done this most for me is probably "Ulysses," which was a real labor to read, but I have to admit, did some really cool things.<br /><br />Btw, this would probably be a good time to tell you that, unfortunately for our timing, I'm going to be gone on vacation the next couple weeks, including lots of camping w/o Internet access, so I would expect less frequent posting, esp. starting Sunday. But I'll try to keep up on "Invisible Cities."Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11708022607046379611noreply@blogger.com
