Take a Look, It's in a....

Paris is the only thing on mind today. I just can’t wait to see the sights—the Eiffel Tower, Arc d’Triomph, Louvre, Musee d’Orsey, Sacre Cour…YAY! Paris is chock-a-block full of so many things that you dream about, and this weekend I get to see them! It’s going to take all my many skills to navigate the city streets—my crap sense of direction, shoddy Level 1 French, and my most valid skill, a penchant for spending money. I can hardly wait.

ah! the metro! run away!

Things I’m deffo doing in Paris:
-Eating cheese
-Eating baguettes
-Eating pain au chocolate
-Reading at a café
-Eating more cheese
-Drinking a glass of wine at a brasserie
-Lil more cheese

YAY! PARIS!

And now, for a very English-major-ish list of books I’m fixin’ to read:

Three Bags Full

Murder mystery solved by sheep. Period.






Then We Came to the End
Joshua Ferris’ highly acclaimed first novel. The literary cool kids are all abuzz.

Heyday: A Novel

Written this year, about yesteryear. Reviews: witty, wry, savagely good.

Ulysses


[sigh] I’m in Ireland, and I’m an English major. I know better than to miss reading Joyce’s once-banned classic.

Watership Down
You probably read it in high school, but I was trapped in a never ending Black History Month, stuck reading the lesser works of Zora Nealy Hurston and James Baldwin. So, it’s time I read the book written by bunnies.

What is the What


Who doesn’t love Dave Eggers? And who wouldn’t want to read his latest? And it’s a fake account of a real person’s life, which, true to Eggers, is both complicated and cool.

That’s enough. I could go on for days but I won’t. Although, for all you folks stuck in sweltering heat in Michigan, you ought to saddle up to a book in the AC or shade if you know what’s good for you…

…but you don’t have to take my word for it. boo doo doo!
