And hey Presto: Week 6!, which recounts the pleasing commentary laced upon these light beams by varied marchers and the squires of same. Nearly 300 pages in now. Lots and lots and lots to go, and yet…we’re too far from shore to easily swim back. I’ll confess to finding “the two friends” a tad tedious. … Read more

And then before you know it, it’s Week 5, regarding the diverting comments posted by the readers of this agreeable history. Much sound and fury this week regarding potential casting and music for the movie. And out of that dust a clear path emerges: Melody’s vision of a DQ update that we’d have to assume … Read more

Welcome to Week 4 on ye olde deathmarche, which recounts the fierce and uncomon battle for mugnet glory waged by nineteen travelers, and other events. Some good debate this last week on the pleasures of DQ. I’m still having a swell time with the book, though I’ll confess that DQ’s grand chivalric imagining (around page … Read more

Welcome to Week 3, in which are found the disparate comments of the mug-net inclined, along with other unexpected epistles. Speaking of which, 26 people are still mug-net qualified. Jinkies! On each of these ‘marches so far, I’ve especially dug the end of Week 2 — past page 100, the book starts to take hold. … Read more

We’ve got a potentially huge crew along for the ride, including some first-timers from around the country. We may even have a few high schoolers amongst … Read more

Hi all, As previously intimated, the Don Quixote Deathmarch does in fact loometh. In fact, it so loometh that we even have a start date: Wednesday, March 22 (meaning we aim to open the cover that day). Looks like we may well have a good-sized group, including several first-timers. Should be fun (and grueling, but … Read more

Just a quick heads-up for them what follow such things, that the Don Quixote Deathmarch is now officially looming on the horizon. The exact start date hasn’t been selected yet, but it’ll most likely be right around the beginning of March. Probably a Tuesday. Me, I’ve got a little work to do before we kicking … Read more

Here it is — finally. The spot for final thoughts on Flan’s Irish stew….

Well, this has officially been the most mismanaged literary deathmarch of the 21st century. In fact, I don’t mean to brag, but I recently received a notarized letter letting me know that this is the most mismanged literary deathermarch of the 21st century. Which doesn’t happen every day. Is all I’m saying. Clearly: it’s high … Read more
