About Me
- Christine
- I often have a few books with bookmarks in them at once. I enjoy classics more than contemporary works of fiction, often read historical fiction, and love to get glimpses into other people's lives by reading memoirs and biographies.

OK, sorry.
Reading "High Cotton: Four Seasons in the Mississippi Delta".
Yes, we're back to non-fiction.
First and second, Don!
Sounds like an interesting book, if slow. I just looked it up. What led you to it?
Hey, what about the new Chabon? You gonna try it? You mentioned it the other day.
Well, this week I read Ibsen's A Doll's House, gave Sophocles' Antigone a quick re-read, finished up Kipling's Just So Stories, polished off Dante's Inferno, and have continued with Dickens' Little Dorrit.
Ha! Snobby enough for you, Don?
DRD
No lies, either. DRD
Book snobs welcome!
Not reading anything but school stuff this week, and that's mostly related to my independent research on Princess Mononoke.
My favorite article is "Confronting Master Narratives: Miyazaki's Cinema of De-assurance" by Susan J. Napier. She absolutely nails everything I want to say about San and Lady Eboshi.
FOUND Frannie and Zooey...read a big chunk of it last night. Read "Subtle Knife: and moved on the "Amber Spyglass". I like the ideas and images these books offer, but sometimes feel that there are storylines going astray...or maybe it's my attention span? Frannie and Zooey is delightful - I read it slowly.
A book about Miyazaki? Hmmm...
"First!" What is this, Perez Hilton?
P.S. Bonus points for making tea evacuate via nostrils.
In book related news, finished Bourdain, moving back to the land of fiction courtesy of Stephanie Meyer's Twilight. However, at the moment anything ubercliche or twee rears it head, I will abandon it like nobody's bidness. What!
