I have a couple of drafts of blog posts from the last week sitting in storage, but nothing really worth saying. I'm in school, doing school-like things.
Reading. I'm doing a lot of reading. Those of you with whom I am friends on Goodreads are seeing about half of the books I'm reading, and none of the scholarly articles. Currently there are six pdf files open on my computer that I really should read as soon as possible. Instead, I'm blogging. Procrastination and I are good friends.
I buy most of my books used. It saves money, with an added bonus of dollops of amusement spread throughout the books via marginal comments made by previous owners. My favorites so far this semester have been "YUCK" and "Walpole must have read Romeo and Juliet". Note: the second one only becomes amusing if you know that you're reading a book that was actually written by Matthew Lewis, not Horace Walpole. All Gothic writers are not the same.
