I hope to find time to post over here more often. The clutter is sort of a turn off though. Sometimes there is just so much to read through that i just say **** it and decide it isn't even worth it. This time of night is a good time to post.

You are not worthy.

How are classes going VT? I'm sure you have a 4.0, or thereabouts. I feel like we were all such a big part of your schooling. Maybe we should bump the college thread just for old time's sake...

I loved Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale and Tar Baby and Song of Solomon by Morrison.

I was more a fan of Russian and American Lit, but also read some great English stuff, as well. Eliot is pretty profound, imo.

I wasn't a huge fan of the Hurston piece. The dialogue is mind numbing. Made me want to throw the book against the wall.

Eliot is extremely profound... almost to a fault. I don't want to be looking up a reference every other line. I haven't read any Russian lit. I don't know which other i would choose as my favorite. I liked Tennyson, Pope, Wordsworth, lots of them.

I got a 4.0 in everything last semester. Bumped my GPA up to roughly 3.4. The only class I'm having a little bit of a time with now is Calculus. I made a 94 on the first test but the one I took today I don't feel good about. The professor bugs me, he's awful. He's clearly bored and half-asses the lessons. Really annoying.

Calculus blows. That's all there is to it. Just trudge thru and try to keep your grade high. Sucks about your prof.

I'm hoping to pull a 4.0 this semester too. It's very possible. 3 of my classes are pretty easy, and the other two are for my major so I am pretty good at them.

Hopefully, at some point, you'll get to read some James Joyce. No way I'd even attempt to read anything of his outside of a classroom setting. You have no idea you're missing something incredibly profound until it is brought to your attention in class. The repetition has a reason, as well.

Y'all with your book talk. I just read 1776 by David McCullough on Monday. . . then wrote a 5 page paper on it Tuesday. It was due Wednesday :p

So nothing is profound until somebody tells you it's profound?

Didn't he write Ulysses? I feel like i have read something of his before, but i can't remember what. Maybe i am imagining it. I think we still have to read Oscar Wilde and Henry James in my Victorian novel class. That will be after we finish Dickens. Idk what is in store in the American lit class. Next semester i have to take theory.
