Finished the poem now onto the commentary. Buddy rips right out of the gate: “We can visualize John Shade in his early boy-hood, a physically unattractive but otherwise beautifully developed lad.” Way to speak ill of the dead Mr. Kinbote!

Also noticed that since it’s a 999 line poem, the rhyme scheme is uneven. Need a word that rhymes with lane

CHARLES XAVIER?! Like the X-Man? Also it feels like he uses “Zemblan” like the Smurfs use the word “smurf” I must have skipped the definition somewhere. Kinda feel a bit lost. Hard with a lack of chapters too. Sometimes you gotta challenge yourself though.

Wanted to get a start today as today is John Francis Shade’s 128th birthday according to the forward.

I am reading this because it is referenced in Blade Runner 2049, and I am a huge fan of that movie. Brave enough to admit I am a simple man.
