Gargantuan Fun, Pantagruelian Wit

Rabelais wrote the bawdiest, funniest, book to come out of the 16th century. It totally holds up.

    Thanks, Rabelais was a favorite of Henry Miller and he derived his own personal motto "Always merry and bright!" from Rabelais

    Rabelais is my hero in life and the inspiration for much of what I do. I would say to anyone unfamiliar with Rabelais, "Drink up you noble boozers!" Imbibe in Rabelais

    Aldous Huxley wrote in his essays that he admired Rabeläis as he intentionally wanted our public vernacular to change and wanted what a "Pantagruel" is to be lost. Do as though will shall be the whole of the law.

    I just got this book, haven't cracked it open yet. I will be reading it right after Rebecca by Du Maurier. Strange turn of events, this video being suggested to me.

    The bearded cover drawing looks like the presenter? Gustave Dore illustrations too!

    Comparing me to a Gustave Dore engraving is the nicest thing anyone’s ever said to me.

    General feedback from one bibliophile to another. 1. A 40 second intro is way too long. 2. I have just finished Dom Quixote, and it is so much fun ! This has led me to G and P, which I have just downloaded from audible, so your review has been really helpful.
