Pages 68–85/95: The phrase would be more german to the matter

1 hour 30 minutes

Welcome back! We had planned to get to page 95 this week, but another long endnote leapt out of the bushes at us! Norma and Vvinni slogged bravely onward to page 95, while Andrew and Brianna cut their losses and stopped at page 85. This week's topics of discussion include:

Cats who are problems

Literary depictions of depression/psychiatric medicine

Gerhardt Schtitt's musings on the sublime poetics of tennis

The Enfield (England) Poltergeist

Québécois separatists/wheelchair assassins/le jeu du Prochain Train

Feral hamsters!

They may kill you, but the legalities of eating you are quite a bit dicier.

O.N.A.N./Onan

Watch: “The Funniest Joke in the World” from Season 1/Episode 1 (“Whither Canada?”) of Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969)

For next week, we'll read up through page 109.
