In a discussion with Luke it seems we are due to be done on the 20th. J-Bu, is this the plan?
I will have spotty internet the rest of my trip but I will finish any day now and report when I finish--the road and Dom Casmurro go hand in hand. I love the style so far--it is so all over the place I find myself re-reading at times.
Let us know Josh...

Pony Express
Boys,
I made a tragic error, rather than ordering via Euphrates.com/domcasmurro(a website rife with problematic papyrus and rampants termite infestation), I opted for a new delivery service called the Pony Express. Apparently it uses a new technology called "Horse Power(sp?)" to deliver packages, which sounds both intriguing and fun...like a visit to the zoo.
The posse encountered some problems in Nebraska and had to hunker down for the past three weeks, subsiding on horse flesh and fleas. I just received word via "Telegraph" that they were entering the border of Colorado when a gang of banditos robbed them and shot one of the boys. The banditos made off with most of the packages except for my copy of Dom Casmurro, which should be arriving come Spring!
I'm excited.
Peace and Love,
Dan

Euphrates.com botched my order
I ordered the book... but it arrived on papyrus scrolls in a giant sarcophogus. Shipping was a nightmare. I only assume that I accidentally ordered the Assyrian or Mesopatamian translations.
In all truthfullness, I am going to pick up my English translation from Barnes & Noble right this red hot second on my lunch break. It just arrived after one botched order. I am fully committed to finishing the book though.
As Tom Hanks told Kathleen Turner in A League of Their Own, "The hard is what makes it great". Although there is no Robyn to grace the pages of this book; there is however, the ever-mysterious Capitu. Did she do it? Did she not?
Boa sorte, seus safados!

I am glad we are still doing this...
If it wasn't for a long road trip to New York and 3 flights this week I would be screwed.
Good luck everyone!

Dom Casmurro, Or "Lord Taciturn"(Somebody Knows How To Use Free Translation.Org...Booyeah)!
Brothers:
I just received my copy of Dom Casmurro! It's in Portuguese! I'm an idiot! I went back onto Amazon to buy it in english and read some reviews. This book will be the balls. I'm super stoked for this book. I just wanted to check in.
Peace and Love,
Danny
ps-I willing to take my punishment for the egregious(somebody knows how to use Miriam Webster.com, Booyeah!) non-reading of Darkwalker. Am I the only one other than Matt Olsen? When and where on this, men?
