I started reading Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest the other day. There is a tremendous quote from the Native American narrator early on that I would like to share with you, the people: "But it's the truth even if it didn't happen." I sat and turned it over in my head for a little while. It struck me hard--right in the kidney. The idea seems offbeat, yet somewhat assuring. Does something really have to be true in order to have happened? No. And this proves it. Next question.
I got Final Fantasy XII Monday night. It's one of the best movies in video game packaging I've seen.
The end of The Count was amazing. Just like the beginning and the 1400 pages between them. I want to read at least two other books before I read it again. Ross wants to borrow it. I don't see a problem with it. As long as he doesn't shove it up his ass like he does everything else. Anyway. Go ahead and by this version. After you obtain and read that version, do what I'm about to do: grab the Robin Buss translation, published by Penguin Classics. Buss' translation, from what I've read, has refurbished the language for our time (bad) and has reinstated all of the sex and drugs, left out in previous translations.
Bye.
