Hey Tio!
please please can I have a go at this one?
The Eagle of the Ninth.
...and it was a Birdie on the Sixth, and an Albatross on the 7th (par 5 hole)..
Naomi Wolf - The Beauty Myth.
(NIce lie on Beethoven's Hole, Michael. )
Women Who Run With (Were)Wolves
Little Red Riding Hood
Mao's Little Book...
The Little Red Schoolbook (nothing to do with Communism but banned in Oz in the 70's)
(ReallY I've a copy on the shelf above my desk!)
Faculty of (Un)Education
Why do you keep it so close at hand Tio?
I can read it online. (google it)
(I keep a lot from my undergrad/radical/peacenik days at hand. Keeps me on my toes. )
Lenore Kandel's The Love Book
(Another from those days...banned in San Francisco. Linda Kerouac gave me this copy she saved from City Lights when the police raided...)
Henry Miller - Tropic of Cancer (it was banned too once, I think). I brought my Penguin copy back from Australia recently, to reread.
Olympia Press, Paris (published most books that were banned in the UK).
Joyce's Ulysses
(and the US Supreme Court verdict makes good reading...)
"It's a joke, Joyce"..Aussie comedian Graham Kennedy in a famous skit.
"Shem is as short for Shemus as Jem is joky for Jacob."
-James Joyce, Finnegan's Wake
There were these two Irishmen...
Tales told of Shem and Shaun...
I was thinking of Mick and Paddy...
Mick, Mack, and Paddy Whack,
Give your dog a bone...
Could have sworn it was 'knick knack, paddy whack' - but I know you're using poetic licence.
Now it's three Irishmen!
One man went to mow..(and his dog, Woof!)
No. It's just the two. Paddy and Mick-Mack, who's either an undecided Scots-Irishman or a Native American from the Northeast Woodlands.
Ha ha! OK ok...
Queegweeg (sp?) from Moby Dick. Unsure of his race though.
Ohhhhhhhhh POP! Champagne all round..woops seems like it's just you and me Tio...for my 6000th post!
Queequeg is sort of a generic South Pacific Islander, given his tatoos, but probably not Maori.
As far a the Northeastern Woodlands go, the Pequid were almost exterminated by the lovely Pilgrims, but are doing quite well in the casino trade nowadays. Melville sure could pack a lot of subtle symbolism, metaphor, and allegory into his novels...
Pequod.
And congratulations on your 6,000th!!!
Thanks Tio..refill??
Have you heard the online readings of Moby Dick..some famous (and some unknown) voices read each chapter in turn..I am thinking of Steven Fry for one..and the accompanying art work is wonderful too.
No, not familiar with it. Sounds like it sounds good. Fry has a voice as keen as his mind...should be very good.
Is the art Rockwell Kent's classic woodcut illustrations from the Modern Library edition?
No idea..ask ogg..he'll know!!
Sureon the refill... and, the association...Hmmm...
! Rockwell Kent!
