Cannery Row, by John Steinbeck.
“Well, you can tell him I said it. I aint’ afraid of him and I ain’t afraid of you. I ain’t afraid of anybody. You want to make something of it?” Joey didn’t answer.
Who am I going to tag? Who still reads?
Susan.
The sxKitten.
Erin.
Microsoar.
Harry the Cat.
- As you know, this isn’t really a meme, it’s a form of virus. So Hoffman has infected me with a virus. But whatever.

So Hoffman has infected me with a virus.
Does that mean you’re going to need antibiotics, or somethin’?
(Oh, Doug knows I’m teasing… ;) )

Gawd, I hate memes as much as I do virusii, but for you, and this one time…
You’re not getting all five of ‘em, since more or less won’t help make sense of Italo Calvino’s If on a winter’s night a traveler anyway:
“The latest wife of the Sultan comes from our country, a woman of sensitive and restless temperament who suffers from the isolation in which she is confined by the geographical position, the local customs, and by court etiquette, though she is sustained by her insatiable passion for reading…”

I read If on a winter’s night a traveler years ago, and had completely forgotten how much I enjoyed it. Now I want to read it again. Thanks for the reminder!

Kris, point of definition here: Dean needs antivirals, not antibiotics.
I only share the most benign viruses. Mine don’t cause little itchy sores to appear on your genitalia. Not usually, anyway.
