(no subject)
I need to space out my reading more next term. My eyes get so tired so fast. Exams commence tomorrow and I haven't finished four books, haven't started two.
To the Lighthouse was as good as I remember it, though sadly I didn't respond to it with the absolute absorbed awe I remember--not all of it, anyway. I see scraps of it blowing around in Little, Big. Engine Summer has an Orlando feel, come to think of it.
Peer Gynt broke my heart for the severaleth time. I wonder if some of it soaked into Roth's Sabbath's Theater.
I like seeing connections among my core books. Where they merge, there's the world I recognize.
I normally avoid rereading (except poetry). I'm superstitious about it, it has a giving-up feeling. But I have to admit it's uncannily restorative.
Next term I'm signed up for an avant-gardish novella course and two in Japanese lit. in translation. We'll see what horizon expansion restores.
