Yes, oh, I completely forgot about that. I was hearing online maybe Jeff Hitler throwing at me that dreary depressing book about the Caribbean, "The Kingdom of This World," hy Alejo Carpentier. Yes, that was on our high school reading list, but anyway, do I care to be reminded of that dreary strain of negativity? No, not really. There are some books best forgotten, there being no good reason to bother trying to retrieve that, so obviously I am not going to be enthusiastic about any future book discussion with Jeff. Needless to say. Obviously. There is something weird about their Caribbean schematics, because I never had any connection whatsoever to the Caribbean beyond reading a book.. I was in Central America so the Caribbean was not my problem, notwithstanding all due regards to Christopher Columbus.
