Update coming soon...

Sorry been really busy, not that anyone actually reads this... at least according to my counter.

Had a bunch of interesting wines lately, including an un-oxidixed bottle of 1996 Jadot Chevalier Demoiselles, a notoriously flaky bottle of wine.

I promise to get some new stuff up soon. Going to the Final Four this weekend to cheer on my beloved Tarheels. Look for some crazy monkey antics from San Antonio. They have Irish Car Bombs there, I assume.

Gilgamesh

Gilgamesh is the first "book", but Don Quixote is considered the first novel. At least according to my college literature professor.

The Levi did say something about Japan, but he may have been referring to "book" rather than novel.

Right, DQ gets the nod for novels. Gilgamesh is, arguably, not a book either, but close enough.

Yeah, Gilgamesh is some sort of Epic Poem, sort of like Homer, but with a more recognizable narrative structure.
