I spent all of today reading the latter half of Proulx's Accordion Crimes. A good book, but I'm glad to have finished it. Tomorrow I continue Kerouac's On the Road, and start Milton's Paradise Lost and Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath. I also have the first of my semester two classes tomorrow - a screening and a lecture for the American travel literature unit. In between I'll be at the library doing the above reading and unearthing an article by Stuart Mills on Borges' The House of Asterion. Busy, busy day.

The above was basically a note to self. An addendum: BUY NOTEBOOKS PLUZ.

This evening, after I'd finished reading, I ate dinner, and then sat with T for an hour watching Deadwood, 2x01. LOVE THIS SHOW. I've managed to make T love it, too, and now she is ensconced with my DVDs. Yayarms! (I love having someone in the house to squee with. It makes me feel like less of a dork.)

Now I'm either going to read more Suzie Costello fic, or watch Gangs of New York. Or both. Insomnia: bitch or ennabler?

AMERICAN TRAVEL LIT??? A whole unit of this???

On the other hand, the amount of reading you have to do seems sort of crazy, so maybe I'm not that jealous.

YES! So awesome! Basically my best unit this year.

The reading isn't so bad: two books per week, and not even that because On the Road (the actual unit title) doesn't have one text per week. Neither does Traditions in Poetry by the looks of things. I just schedule my reading so that it's all done in advance. That means about 4 weeks of scheduled reading (the first fortnight is the worst because I'm doing allotted reading on 3 texts at a time) but then I don't have to worry about it later in the semester (when I'll be writing essays). Is muy efficient. !
