in the wee small hours ...

May 11, 2006 03:12

I am wide awake, in part because of caffeinated headache meds that mercifully are working (*dances*), and in part because of that 3.5 hour pass-out I did this afternoon.

And so, a bookish meme featuring 93 (?!) women authors, yoinked from sakuraigirl:

( snipped for length )

booklist, books, meme

well. and now it's 6:30 am and I am... well, awake, if not wide. I'm skipping skool today and will hopefully sleep another 6 hrs... but after that, maybe we could be on the phone? lemme know. *hugs*

what's your life like around 6 pm?

I just got off the phone and have almost no voice, but it may be somewhat returned by then.

My life my just be beautiful around 6pm. In fact... just about any time this evening should be fine by me. How about you call me 6ish, and let me know if you're feeling up to things or no? :)

I knew I wouldn't be doing this mimi. The only ones that I've read are:

Austen, Jane - Emma
Hamilton, Edith - Mythology
Lee, Harper - To Kill a Mockingbird
Shelley, Mary - Frankenstein

I've read tons of Agatha Christie but not Orient Express. I've read George Elliot's other book Silas Marner. I think that Rachel Ray is really cute.

that's the thing - i've read SO MANY other things by a lot of these women, but not the titles specified. Which seem pretty random to me, and to carpetofstars below. I find it odd for example that Cat's Eye is listed for Atwood in lieu of, say, The Handmaid's Tale. or a book I've never heard of by Alice Walker, instead of The Color Purple. I mean srsly. Come ON.

cat's eye - this is an atwood that i keep looking at on the library shelf, but browsing the flyleaf hasn't persuaded me to read it. funny, when i've read and enjoyed several of her other works.

emma - i really didn't enjoy austen's style in pride and prejudice, so i'm a little hesitant to get bogged down in her prose again. i know i know, color me clueless and sacrilegious. :D

the others - yeah, 3 of them are on my intention list, and if i'd known woman on the edge of time existed, i may well have already read it. way back in college, i liked Piercy's poetry.
