Yeah, I'm an English major. (I enjoy history too.) James Joyce is really pretentious, but I suppose that quality is what draws English majors to his work. Nice Groucho Marx picture, by the way.

Well, I'm at 98% on my Kindle, so pretty close. I've only read Ulysses by Joyce so far, and it was just "okay." Yeah, my semester is about to start, but I've managed to read quite a lot this summer. During school I still manage to read, just not as much. Are you an English major?

When I first started it, I felt the same way - Part I is hilarious in, as you mentioned, a "Monty Python" way. Part II, however, is pretty repetitive. I know Part II is about deception and tragedy and all that, but it's just dragging on at this point. (Cervantes should have stopped after Part I.) I would definitely recommend that you read it all the way through, though, just so you can form your own opinion. I'm planning on reading Finnegans Wake after Don Quixote [_[

I'm about to finish Don Quixote (been reading for about two weeks). How are you finding it so far?

I couldn't pick a movie. I love them all. I also adore the quiz-show Groucho did on his own - "You bet your life".
In case you've missed it, there's a lot of clips of it on Youtube.

Woody was quite the character, too. I really enjoyed his book "Bound for glory", and, of course, his music.

Thank you very much.

Not really a guitarplayer, no. I know a bit, but I would by no means call myself a guitarplayer.
I'm pretty good at the piano and violin, but guitar I just know enough to get by.

I love your avatar picture. Groucho was incredible.
