I feel this must be a thread for the elderly like myself, who still know what a shoelace is.
Thank you so much, Paul :-)
I'v some trouble understanding this phrase:

Thanks Neely!
After having dropped, soaked and thereby ruined several books, I no longer indulge in this habit ...
and besides: what's the difference between "Yay" and "Aye"???
It's an earnest question
Hereabouts, we say "US-Americans", "Canadians", "Brazilians", "Mexicans" and so on.
I remember having been at work. A colleague came and showed me a video on the Internet -- this particular colleague always made jokes and funny antics and such like -- and I thought it was some fake...
I think Gontscharov did a very good job on "Anisia", the wife of Oblomows servant, Sachar. While she is not a main character, let alone a heroine or a beauty, she is completely convincing in her...
Happy Birthday!
I haven't read it yet, but it's on my pile. I've heard it is the most accessible of Pynchon's books.
Happy Birthday!
