So, Dr. Sharma was dumb enough to ask me for a reading list, which I'm going to give her tomorrow. I decided not to do a list of classic novels or whatever, since I'm pretty sure you could just google that. So my list is writing that, for whatever reason, made an impression on me. Let's not talk about how much of my list is sci-fi/and or

I love a lot of books on this list! :) We read "The Things They Carried" last year for summer reading. It's great~ And I love Cyrano de Bergerac. It makes me want to learn French. And I went to a Kay Ryan reading; she's so vibrant.

I need to read more Margaret Atwood. I've only read the Penelopiad.

I read Cyrano de Bergerac in middle school, and I can still do the "I am too proud to be a parasite speech from memory." I can recite a lot of shit from memory, including the prologue to Canterbury Tales in Middle English and a poem I learned in third grade, but I can't remember shit I did yesterday. It's kind of ridiculous.

This is an amazing list. Amaazing.

Can you believe "Lord of the Flies" was posted over in bookfails? Ugh.

Well, the movie version of Lord of the Flies was laughably awesome. "Sucks to your asthmar!" is my favorite line, and I use if as often as possible, mostly because people have no idea what I'm referencing and just think I can't pronounce asthma properly.

I think this list is awesome.
