All of Leaves of Grass, or just some specific parts?

[havocthecat]

It's a bit too long for it to be the whole thing. Unfortunately, it's been years since I've read it in its entirety (and why, yes, it would have been during that college American Lit class I took, um, well, one of them, at least). But certain sections. Let me hunt through for the parts I was talking about. If you want to hear?

I've got a gigantor copy here at home, so if you know the poem names I can look them up. (My method for reading LoG is to open it randomly and browse. *g*)

Oh, see, now you're taking all the fun out of it. ;) Actually, I have no big honking copy at home, so I rely on the bartleby.com online edition. (Mind you, I do have The Count of Monte Cristo and at least two of the Musketeer novels, and plan on getting War and Peace, because I tried reading that on my handheld once, and that? Wow, so not something you can read on an itty bitty screen. I'm a lit geek. And a psych geek. And so many other flavors of geek.)

I like In Paths Untrodden, if you can ignore the whole manly male aspect of it so that it includes Elizabeth and Teyla and all the other women too.

And To the Garden the World screams 'Before I Sleep' to me.

Plus there's Pioneers! O Pioneers! too.

And more, but given that I'm at work, I should probably hold off 'til later.
