Either Adorno's getting easier, or I'm getting used to it. I think it was a bit of both--this chapter was on ethics after Auschwitz, so the subject matter was a bit more concrete--or at least had more ties to concrete things than previous chapters. I have finished my reading for Thursday's reading group, which is a relief to have finished. Last night I finished editing all of the death penalty manual chapters that I have so far, so that's caught up with, too. I finished Remains of the Day last night--what a lovely book. I still have reading to do for Friday (Rebecca and I agreed to read another 200 pages of Fiedler), but I'll think about that tomorrow.
I had been feeling a bit daunted by everything I've set myself to do right now, but right now, it's feeling doable. Having England four weeks away (and an X concert tomorrow night) is a good carrot, too!
Now, I'm going to look at this gothic paper I wrote, to see if it can be expanded by 3000 words; there's a cfp for a journal that I would really like to submit to. The deadline's August 3, which seems doable to me.
