Oookay. Finally finished reading
To The Lighthouse and
Atonement and now I've got to go through my English notes and refresh my memory on all the stuff I read first term. Sigh. Never did finish reading
Emma (I want to, though...maybe over the summer?), but I think I generally know how that one goes. Sort of read Freud's
Dora, but considering I'm not extremely fond of Mister Sigmund, I didn't really read that one in much depth and kind of just skimmed about the last third of it. Ah well. Anyway, for anyone looking to read something interesting...hmm...let's see, what have I liked that I read for English this year? *consults a list*
I liked (in varying degrees):
Emma by Jane Austen,
Atonement by Ian McEwan,
To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf, "The Yellow Wall-Paper" by Charlotte Perkins Stetson (a.k.a. Charlotte Perkins Gilman),
The Middle Stories by Sheila Heti,
The Turn of the Screw by Henry James, and
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley (well, I didn't really read this one so much as skim it, either, 'cause I already studied it in Grade 11 Media).
I also enjoyed watching
Clueless. *smirks* Hehe.
So. Will answer (Susan's) questions (hmm. Don't think anyone else ever has anything to ask me. :)) now and then go learn some stuff for English.
"Oh no, I have to go take an English exam. They give you credit for speaking it, right?"
1. Teeeeeelll meeeeeee...why d'ja have to go and make things so complicaaaayyted?
Erm...I don't know, Suz (and I'm sorry if this actually
isn't from Suz, but, playing the odds...). Why don't
you teeeeellll
meeeee?
2. Brazil is far away from Toronto, eh?
Not so far. We're North America, Brazil's South America. See? If two people are just in the north and south sections of the same place, they can't really be that far apart, can they?
