The Iron Lion, you bet

I just heard a rumour that I bounced off His Royal Madness, and he informs me he is seriously leaning that way.

What way, you say?

Well, you have, by now, heard that he is going to try and establish a certified World Record (courtesy of, ironically for him, some beer company) for the longest continuous public reading by a poet of his own works.

Grand enough in it's own...and fairly simple, if you have the stamina of vocal cords. Just open THE COMPLEAT PANTHER CYCLES and read for 9-12 hours and you'll probably make it into the books. Yes, estimates say it would take that long to read the entire book, aloud, cover-to-cover.

But, no. The poet is considering doing something destined to freak out many of his hard-core fans:

Not read a single "panther" poem.

That's right, set aside a bound volume of over 640 works and still find enough material in his catalog to go for many, many hours.

I think it's brilliant, sort of a "I am not defined by this book" move.

What do you think?
