Day 4: The 30 Day Book Meme

[sciathan_file]

mornea just reminded me that I am totally behind on this. Oh well, I take comfort in the fact that nowhere on the tin does it say "30 Consecutive Days." Also, I have been occupied by the joint activities of substitute teaching and trying not to continually call out my family for various acts of asinine behavior

I do that sometimes (most recently for McEwan's Atonement and Marilynne Robinson's Gilead. The first person POV is very natural in that book in that I feel, despite the epicness of the character and the magical elements, that it is really a complex human being talking. Also I just love his character. And I can talk about all kinds of books at length. Sometimes I even get paid (although I cried a little bit when a senior English student asked if anyone could possibly like Keats last week(!!!)).

Luckily, I never started watching Merlin for its historical accuracy or consistency. Unless I'm looking to be impressed, I just want to be entertained. Also, I am almost never spoilerphobic, and, this makes me want to go track down season 2 as Ambrosius was right behind Merlin as one of my favorite characters. I am seriously always gutted when he dies. EVERY TIME.

I have a crazy writing process..and I can see Kyouya and what he is supposed to do, but I can't hear his voice properly. It's not even first person narration, but it needs to be...Kyouya-ish. BLAH.

Although his mistress finally has a name. Progress! Now more research on Harvard...
