It's a Literary "Where's Waldo"
To my literary-minded friends: If you were to study/write a paper or papers on any "major author" (which seems quite open to interpretation in the opinions of my professors) besides Shakespeare, who would you choose?
See, in order to graduate from the Honors program, I need to create a project in my major, which I will then work on this semester with some guidance from a faculty member. I have also discovered that if I want to graduate with a concentration in my major (not required but strongly encouraged), I would probably have to do an Independent Study in this major author (which this project could count for), because I don't have enough credits that would count for a Writing Concentration, and in order to get the Literature Concentration I was supposed to have taken a non-Shakespeare Major Author course, but Marian never seems to offer that, so it appears I'd have to do it on my own.
Anyway, I was hoping to get a head start on this project before the semester starts, but I am way too indecisive, so any opinions would be awesome. Right now I'm kind of leaning towards Virginia Woolf, or maybe T.S. Eliot, but since I can pretty much do anything I want - including multiple authors, as one of my professors suggested Jane Austen and George Eliot as a good project - I'm having trouble committing to anything. Thoughts?
Also, I was thinking about starting a Twitter account, solely because it would mean I'd make it into the Library of Congress, which I was reminded about when I was listening to the podcast of this week's "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" episode last night. If only I had things worth Tweeting about...because I'm not cool like Kanye West. :P
