Telephone line through time
Jul. 23rd, 2006 06:50 pmNon-poll, free-for-all question: Why do you read my journal? Has the reason(s) changed since you first friended me? (It's nearly ScaperCon weekend; I'm feeling a desire to connect to people.)

I'm really liking the song in my music field at the moment. The music is not exactly peppy, but the lyrics are really good for...hmmm...not cheering up, exactly, but for feeling better about certain things. Plus, it's about literary research--presumably--and that certainly gets my attention. (I would make a great college professor if the job just didn't include teaching as well as research and writing.)
( Cut for a long quote )
This doesn't have anything to do with the fact that I'm halfway through Orlando, although I will say that I'm surprised at how readable and good it is. I hated The Waves but kind of liked Mrs. Dalloway, so I thought I'd give her one more chance before I wrote her off completely. And although it's starting to get a bit strange, I fell in love with the first half, and I'm willing to read the next 150 pages even if they go way off the deep end. I don't say that about many things I don't have to read for class.
OMG, I may end up liking that woman yet! (But I still reserve the right to laugh at the "never give a typewriter to the Virginian Woolfsnake" line in one of the Lemony Snickett books.)
