Love it!
I didn't know you could sing too! But hey, where's your chin
rest! You'll be great at our jams and meet a lot of other folks to
sing and play with.
Super impressed.
Best

Hi Bruce, glad you came by!

I found your blog via Edge of the West, which I read regularly. I
was intrigued by your comments there, because you are smart and
funny, and because I am also from Modesto. (Modesto, California,
that is.) Your blog is great! I'm happy I found it.
posted evening of June 15th, 2008 by rosmar
Thanks, Rosmar! Glad you came by. Do you still live in Modesto? I
moved away many years ago but some of my family members (parents,
aunt and uncle, grandmother) live there.
posted morning of June 16th, 2008 by Jeremy
Nope, I don't live there anymore. I moved to the Bay Area
(Oakland, more specifically) to go to graduate school at UC
Berkeley, and then 3 years ago got a job teaching in North
Carolina, which is where I am now. But all of my family still lives
in Modesto (or nearby, like Riverbank or Turlock).

Hi Jeremy!
I dropped by while looking for some bibliography on Orhan Pamuk and I found the most thorough one. Thank you very much!
You have a very interesting blog indeed. I'm afraid mine is only an Italian-speaking one, but I'm linking yours anyway.
Happy New Year, by the way!

Thanks, Marina, happy New Year to you! This year I am trying to learn Spanish, maybe next year I'll have a go at Italian!

I just discovered your site yesterday (Bells of Rhymney). What a pleasure to "hear" people discussing books. I live in Southern California, so such talk is a treat for me. Since you're reading the "His Dark Materials," trilogy, go back to Milton. I just finished the edition of Paradise Lost for which Pullman wrote the commentary. Brilliant. What a ripping good yarn. God bless, M.

Glad to see you around, Maggie! Interesting -- I was just reading a note about how His Dark Materials is written with reference to Milton. Maybe I'll take a look at that soon; though I doubt whether Sylvia would be interested in it...

This is a good blog, find it very useful since I am currently preparing a thesis on English literature using My Name is Red. I have a question I'd like you to give opinion on: What do you think if I use the qualifications of "style & signature", "time", and "blindness & memory" as some kind of variables in order to determine the conflict within the book, seen from Butterfly, Stork, and Olive's point of view?
I'll soon start posting a blog, but until then, you can let me know your opinion on the question above to an e-mail address, lambofgodage@hotmail.com. Thank you for the respond.
posted morning of February 27th, 2009 by Handy
Hi Handy, sure, that seems like a good approach -- each of the illuminators certainly has a distinct voice and style. I don't remember noticing a difference in their approaches to time, blindness, and memory, but if you notice such a difference it would absolutely make a good basis for analyzing the novel.

I love it! I was hoping you can help me on my assignment. I am studying "The Black Book", and I'm kind of having trouble with figuring out exactly what the plot and theme of the story is. . .if you can help me with this, I would really really really appreciate it. Thanks.

Hi
I stumbeled across your blog while looking up "who put the benzedrine in mrs. murphy's ovaltine" Roumer has it it's based on a true story Mrs Murphy being a landlady of a boarding house used by musicians. Anyhow that led me here and sometime later I find I'm still leafing trough your museings and enjoying it. So I just thought I should say Thanks from the west of Ireland.

Hi Fran, thanks for the note! Whereabouts in western Ireland? I spent a little time around County Clare several years back, would go back there in a heartbeat.

We're in Leitrim not far from Carrick on Shannon. Music up here is mainly Irish Trad but we have a couple of great Bluegrass/Blues/old timey sessions I think you'd enjoy .

Picked up on your web site via Facebook, and am not surprised to see that you too are a fan of Kerouac, I read and reread his stuff all the time, except for "the Town and The Country" which I still haven't made it through. I love the rhythm of spontaneous associations and language riffs.
Cool site, man

Your blog feels like home, like the blogs I knew before it all got so slick. Like disk jockeys before syndicated radio. Thanks for stopping by my site yesterday.

I was looking for information about the Jessica Lange movie referred to in "Elizabeth Costello," and thanks to your post on the chapter, I found out what movie it was.
I've got a lot of post about Coetzee on my blog, and I'm currently teaching a seminar on "Elizabeth Costello" and it sources: Kafka's "Report to an Academy" and "Before the Law"; Tutuola's "Palm-Wine Drinkard"; Nagel's "What is it like to be a bat?"; the Rilke and Hughes poems discussed in chapter 4; Swift's "Modest Propoal"; West's "Very Rich Hours of Count von Stauffenberg" (of course); the Robert Duncan and Susan Mitchell poems referred to in chapter 7; the Hofmannsthal source for the postscript. I'm even having a colleague who is a "Ulysses" expert come in to talk about the connection to Molly Bloom. Anyway, thanks for the info about the Lange movie! (Which sounds terrible, actually; I watched the trailer and it looks really bad!)

A friend's essay quoted Borges (copulation and mirrors) which brought me to Tlön from where I had to look up Quevedian, the word search of which pops you up at Google and provides a detailed, nuanced and coherent dialogue on Browne and Borges, enriching my day. Thank you!

Hey, Jeremy! Procrastination got the best of me and I was looking for an English translation of the story we were supposed to read for my Spanish lit class (El Mono Que Quiso Ser Escritor SatÃrico), and I stumbled upon your site. I love it here (on the site), so I thought I'd let you know! :)

Hello! Congratulation for your website. I just wanted to share with you that I succesfully found out which painting Saramago is talking about in Chapter 1 of The Gospel. It's an incision by Albrecht Dürer, you can follow this link to see it.
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bj6UjxtALwI/UEDSVO4c4RI/AAAAAAAAASI/MbGTmEPFyNM/s1600/Sem%2BT%25C3%25ADtulo.png
I spent half an hour looking for it and you can't imagine how excited I was to find it just by writing some random keywords such as incision sun moon.
Maybe you can update your post so other English-speaking people can find the answer. I couldn't find it myself on English websites.
Best regards,
Tommaso

Hey Jeremy. Found your site trying to google some Robyn Hitchcock chords (Lady Obvious). Didn't find the chords but I'm loving your site. It reminds me of the old days in the beginning of the World Wide Web.
How could I pass up the chance to sign a guestbook?!?
Hope you're well.

LOL, I shoulda known. I was organizing the last few months' audio downloads, and I had a folder of the strangest compilation of songs without a note of explanation.... called "FeelAlright1", seemed like mostly americana and old-timey jazz, bookended by two Robyn Hitchcock tunes. I was like, what the hell is this? Searching my browser and download history was fruitless, I had no idea when or where I had gotten it... finally after waaaay too long Googling, I discovered the source. You musta posted about this on Feg. So, I stuck around and read a bit. Anyway, thanks for the amusement and the eclectic mix!

Found your website while googling Altazor, since I am reading it for a class and have not been able to get my hands on a paper copy. I got swept away by the conversational, inviting tone of your writing and by the cool aesthetic of your site. Reading some of your posts makes me excited to read Altazor for myself...though I am a little nervous because brilliant poets such as Huidobro (& we read Neruda's "The Heights of Machu Picchu" before this) bring so much, I feel as though I am never "getting it" fully. I want to let go of this urge and read openly but it is challenging. Thanks for sharing your joy in reading it -- it's inspiring.
