i was going to get that castleden book - it's part of a series, yes?

now reading "wineburg, ohio" by sherwood anderson.  it was recommended by one of my students, and i'm gripped already: it's really a collection of interrelated short stories, and utterly compelling.  each story/chapter concerns one of the inhabitants of winesburg, and they are all (inthe author's own words) grotesques.  amazing stuff.

I'm not sure actually. I think he has a few others of the same nature out: "Cannibals", "Assassins" that sort of thing.
Don't know if it's any good, I've just started it.

I only like fictional serial killers - reading about the real ones freaks me out.  :(

Cats!!!  I'm so excited for Kosmo!!   :cheer:

A good friend of mine started writing a screenplay for Winesburg, Ohio several years ago.  I don't think he ever finished it, because he fell in love and got married.   :laugh:  I need to catch up with him and ask him how far he ever got with it.  It was a good book.

We watched the film when we were studying the book.  Hilarious.  They had such high pitched voices.  Especially when they're pushing/pulling a rock or something and all of them go "Heeeeave!" Or maybe I'm just immature.  Felt sorry for Piggy though.

I did a presentation on the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints  :zoinks:

I made the boss print out my studies. I can only access them when I am on the clock, but I convinced him that I need a better way, like over the toilet, to really relax with the program.

I had him print out a whole folder full of pdf documents off the ftp site. It's almost a ream. I wasn't really expecting the whole thing, (expected him to edit) but he's an overachiever, go-getter, earning the nickname, Tiger or Sport or similar.

Maybe it's a test.

took a break from !winesburg, ohio" - it's great, but i wanted something to get my teeth into, and all those short vignettes left me a bit unsettled, if you know what i mean.

so...

read "gods in alabama" by joshilyn (stupid name) jackson, which was fab; then "a quiet belief in angels" by r.j. ellory (good, but not sure it's not a third too long).  am now reading "unforgiven" by jules hardy, which is as brilliant as she usually is.  i :heart: jules, and i reckon i should email her to tell her.  :laugh:
