Biggest Ahhh Moment

Biggest "Ahhhhh" moment is when you've written a blog; push post, and then the screen resets. No. No bueno. No me gusta. But, I guess what that paves way for is a new opportunity to write a better blog. Right? Starting with the Train chapter. So what? It's wierd though, because now that we have this sense of Braithwraite and Barnes (being one in the same), and it almost sounds like a personal bicker between the two authors. Once again, however, we see this in the Case Against champer. This time, the voice is turned towards the audience, (or Braithwraite). This is where I'm slightly confused. First, who is suggesting the questions that prompt the myths of Flaubert. Are these audience questions, in which the dumbness of them gets to Barnes/Braithwraite. As if the questions were just so obviously answerable. Otherwise, it was confusing to see who Barnes was officially directing his claims of ignorance to. I do still like these books, 98-100 is still hilarious beyond all reason. That part made me weep in tears, and while the humor is waning, I'm still enjoying the novel

Good questions regarding both the blurring of Barnes and Braithwaite, and whom, actually, is the "Case Against" addressing.

I sense some interesting potential essay topics here.
