Finals

Hello. I can't believe it is time for finals already, this semester just flew by! That means that July 4th is right around the corner and I am screwed. C'est la vie.

My current reading situation hasn't changed all that much.

Dreams from my father- Barak Obama: I am about half way through, and though, I am very ADD when it comes to my presidential candidates right now, I do really enjoy his writing.

Spring Snow- Mishima: I am over half way through with this book, and the story doesn't really seem that incredible, but the prose is so rich and just different from any other that I read it really slow to savor it all.

Book about Hemingway: I am almost done, and I know, Hemingway is an overpraised misogynist blah blah blah. I tell you, I don't care. I adore him. I like his raw, un-flowery style, his silly machismo and his leather vests.

A New Earth- Yeah, I am reading it again, and I will count it again, so shut up.

Brave New World-Aldous Huxley: I barely started it, so far, I am not into it, yet.

Coming Home-Rosamund Pilcher: It is springtime, I need my fix of my special lady. She is the opposite of Hemingway, flowery flowery flowery.

Brave New World starts really crappy. I don't know if I will be able to do it, and you know, it is so thin, oh well

That is so great, are you going to NC State? What are you studying?
