365 Days of Reading Lite
The Barnes and Noble leatherbound classics are on sale for $12 this weekend and it took all my restraint not to buy all of them.
(I just really want a nice copy of FRANKENSTEIN okay)
(And possibly all the books by the Bronte sisters)

Me, after finalizing my last paper of the semester.
Want to collaborate on a Google Doc with Nietzsche, Shakespeare, Dostoyevsky, Dickinson, Dickens and Poe?
Click here. Start typing. Enjoy the hilarity.
Ninja Update: Wanna see something fun? Mention Shakespeare in a sentence and see what happens.
Dickens and Dickinson had a fight over the expression ‘What the Dickens’.
ALSO LEAVE POE ALONE HE HAD A HARD LIFE.
Shakespeare adds the adjectives “handsome and lovely” before his name.
This is so perfect.

AH I forgot the new ms mr album was releasing today.
(I spent 13 bucks on the Gatsby soundtrack yesterday.)
This guy gave a presentation on melancholy in my British Lit class, and he had one slide that listed recommendations:
- A scholarly text about John Dowland’s poetry/melancholy
- All music by The Smiths

We found my (young) English professor on Facebook. He posts status updates with quotes from my classmates, as well as grammatically incorrect emails he gets from freshmen in his 121 class.
(I don’t think he realizes his Facebook is public.)
Saturday, in a nutshell.
We’re reading Death Note in my graphic novels class and the best part of yesterday’s lecture was watching everyone’s face when the prof mentioned that the story is essentially Faustian, and thus not super original.
Crestfallen. Every single person.
