I like this e.e. cummings. I've been meaning to read more of his work.

Hmm, Richard II, eh? I think that's the one where R3 goes, "I'll out-machiavelle the Machiavelli" other than that, I know squat about that'n.

Hot Moon sounds cool. And you know how I feel about Don Quijote. :-)

heh, actually i can't remember if it was Richard II or III that we read. :S i'm pretty sure it was II...

Luna caliente is actually rather disturbing. it's told from the criminal's perspective, and he rapes and murders this young girl. and then he kills her dad when he's worried that the dad knows what he did. and then the girl comes back. and more weird creepiness ensues. the girl is supposedly a metaphor for la Argentina. but yeah, it was a rather disturbing read.

ack! i forgot El misterio de la cripta embrujada! funniest detective story EVER! <3 how could i have forgotten it?

Did it start off with "Now is the winter of our discontent?" and have near the very end "a horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!" ? 'Cause that's R3.

Hmm, I wonder where Eva Parron would fall in the symbology of the book. Come to think of it, who's the father of la Argentina supposed to be?

The mystery of the ... *wet* Crypt? *Hairy?* What's enbrujada? My Spanish is slipping ...

nope, it was RII. i looked it up 'cause it was bothering me. RIII is the one they do Rocky Horror-style in the Thursday Next books.

embrujada = enchanted
