The action-packed month of July

[sistermaynard]

I got an e-mail from gin asking what I'd been doing lately and realized that I hadn't updated in a while, so here's what I've been doing in July.
I've been sleeping as late as possible to make up for my measly six hours a night during the school year. My brain was not happy with me for that, so summer is good for decompressing and catching up.

"My assigned summer reading is going slowly right now, but I read (and did the assignments for) The Heart is a Lonely Hunter in two days. Note to people who are still in school: Invisible Man is a tedious and rambling book. Don't read it unless you're absolutely forced to."

I hated Invisible Man. Hated. My teacher and I had many ... discussions about it. How is The Heart is a Lonely Hunter? I promised one of my teachers I would read it at some point, and she loaned me her copy, so I'd feel kinda bad if I didn't, but I want to know what to expect. Yay lots of commas ^o.o^

It was far better than I thought it was going to be, really; there's not a central plot as such. It's a series of loosely connected events, centered around four people who all visit a deaf-mute. It's all about the characters and how they change, grow, and interact with each other and the universe in general; the events are only to show that off. I liked it more than most assigned reading, but a lot of things in the story seem irrelevant until something happens later.

Aww poor oblivious tigers!
(in my expeience, when it comes to animals everything that *looks* soft actually isn't. Don't be fooled)
