I was thinking of something the other day:
It's cool but weird meeting Shroomerites in person. I think some of them expect me to be like my online persona. In actuality I am completely different in real life. My mannerisms, behavior, and outlook are completely different the second I log in here. When I'm online I am obnoxious and somewhat of an attention whore at times. In real life I am pretty quiet, polite, and downright bland most of the time. I don't know what it is about this site that causes such a "Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde" kind of thing to happen. Maybe I have been corrupted by my occassional forays into OTD.
Watch out! This thread could turn into a James Joyce-like stream of consciousness thing.

I own it, I've made it to about page 30?...5-6 times, its a little dense for me. 
I love the Wake cuz it's just brilliance on everypage. I really don't read it from the beginning to end, I just open it up and start reading.

Hooray for us dilettantes of literature. I've gotten as far as "Call me Ishmael" with Moby Dick.

I have a few Dostoevsky novels I need to get around to reading...Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov. If I remember correctly, you're a big fan of his aren't you? What would you recommend first?

All of his stuff is good. Brothers Karamazov is his masterpiece. I started with that one and all of his other novels (while very good) pale in comparison.

haha Randal are you going to be embarassed if I say you actually are a sweetheart irl?
I think if you hadn't have warned us that you would be different from your online persona then I would have been suprised, I just assumed you were quietly thinking "Randalflagg" thoughts, but chosing to not say it outloud.
and as far as the picture goes, I printed it out and stuck it to my sisters door

I was taught Moby Dick by an English teacher who would not let go of the idea of symbolism between whale and sperm and penises and Queequeg being gay and it was all very tiresome and yet I still managed to somewhat enjoy Moby Dick. Give it a try sometime.
Melville has GREAT short stories, btw.
