i came late to office life but found that a regular lunch hour gave me  
an opportunity to read fat books slowly

so - in keeping with the times - i've begun on The Cantos

if no one objects i'm going to treat this list as my oracle - here's  
the first lazy question

the initial pages read like a ticker tape parade of history - are  
there fictional characters of Pound's own making in the Cantos - or is  
every name i meet someone i could go look up on Wikipedia
