[version]

Have you finished any of these yet?

Yeah, Moby-Dick.

 

[...]

Yeah, Moby-Dick.

Too busy to read big books, I guess.

 

[version]

I tend to read a few shorter ones between and during big ones. I cba to read big book after big book.

Jenks just finished the Cantos in two weeks. Pull your finger out, version.

 

[version]

He started in January.

 

[...]

Yes, but if you make an adjustment for all of his teaching hours it works out at about two weeks of version time.

 

[version]

Fair point.

Craner wants to annihilate version, he's said it many times

 

[Mr. Tea]

All life as @version knows it ceasing instantaneously, and every molecule in his body exploding at the speed of light.

i actually lost wolf solent the day after i bought it in wolf solent but i have another copy now it's really good.

i really like how all the drama is in the protagonists inner life, the outside world is just phatasms and erotic visions, smells and mists

Wolf Solent

 

[luka]

i was in dorchester today partly in homage to the Great Man. as i was walking down the street a man was opening his book shop so i said got any powys and he said, yeah loads come and have a look so i got 4 new ones off him. he loved me cos he hasnt met a reader in years being out there in dorchester. then i went to maiden castle.

 

[Mr. Tea]

I've not climbed up Maiden Castle but I find myself driving past it a few times a year. It's huuuuge.

i saw a book of letters from powys to g. wilson knight. he's telling knight he should use his platform to promote masturbation, that he could do a great deal of good that way. he says if jack the ripper had a wank he wouldn't have ripped. i didn't buy it but i did buy the saturnian quest, knight's study of powys.
