thanks to the wonder of the internet, i have a hardback copy of _foucault's pendulum_. it is large, and it contains multitudes.

i also have a vertigo tarot. it is one of the coolest tarots i've ever seen.

Jeremy Turner was large, and contained multitudes. :)

(I have it in paperback at home somewhere, never quite managed to finish it.)

wow... jeremy turner... i haven't thought about him in ages.

actually, it was Uncle Walt first, in _Song of Myself_:

Do I contradict myself?
Very well, then. I contradict myself.
I am large. I contain multitudes.

It's good, but a bit slow, and long. I'm contemplating tackling it again next, but the 500pp fantasy novel I'm currently reading, I've been working on since at least the end of July...

Any idea what happened to that boy?
I figured it wasn't original, but he's the only one I've heard say it. :)
I finally picked up LotR again.. but since I was still in the Prologue, I'm really starting it for the first time. I hadn't read a page in over a month, before I picked it up a few days ago.

Jeremy Turner...

I have no idea whatsoever. I'd like to, though. IIRC, John Michael Harding was closer to him than I was, so he might know.

I've no idea who that is.. and no info in the TJ directory on Jeremy, of course. I suppose his family could still be in Manassas, but unless I can remember what street he lived on, I doubt "Turner, in Manassas" would suffice.
And, I'm not that motivated or curious. :)

If I only had a scanner...

The cards are a bit flimsy and the book's not in hardback, but it's still very very cool. I'll probably bring with this weekend.
