Nope, never heard of the man. I’ve never read any of the _Tarzan_ novels; but I _have_ ridden past Edgar Rice Burroughs’ house in Oak Park, Illinois. So. We proceed apace. IQ1: Have you been played by Desmond Llewelyn, John Cleese, and, most recently, Ben Whishaw? IQ2: Were you the influential literary critic who published a monumental collection of English poetry? IQ3: Were you, in your own words, one of the “stately homos of old England”? ---

> [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > IQs: > > 1. Were you a werewolf on \*Dark Shadows \*? Yes – I am **Q** uentin Collins. Let’s see… EH’s IQ3 was Quarrel, from _Dr No_. The Prof’s IQ3 was John Q Public. SMV’s IQ1 was Q, from the James Bond stories. No idea on any of the others. There are books I’ve read. There are books I’ve reread. There are books I’ve reread more than once. _Tarzan of the Apes_ is one of the two books I’ve reread the most often. ---
