Happy, happy, happy birthday, dear Skip!! May the lush and lovely melodies keep pouring outa yer wonderful skull!
Hanging on for the next three weeks... two papers in yesterday, another two due today... one on Tuesday, more exams, big project due after Thanksgiving, more papers... then Finals... and then a day to breathe, and then BRAIN!!!
Just one foot in front of the other. One more step, then the next.
Books, eh? Well, I loved Julius Caesar and MacBeth. Loved Old Man and the Sea. I liked Ethan Frome all right, and Jane Eyre. Moby Dick was a trial - i think I just skimmed a lot of that one. What was that Hawthorne book??? Don't remember. Red Badge of Courage - I was so knocked out by the way it was written, more than the story.
Later I made my own reading list from the used book store: I read one Hermann Hesse novel, and then HAD to read everything else. I periodically reread some of those. And Roberston Davies - read Fifth Business, and then bought everything else. and like that...
