Wow, dude.

And what the hell are you talking about? You don't have Swine Flu? I thought we were friends.

What kind of lit does Nakyung like? Let's cover our bases: Alan Moore (for meaningful comedy), Joan Didion (for extremely literary writing), Raymond Carver (for very depressing literature) and Kelly Link (because I love her).

Sounds like your living situation is pretty good, sir. Keep us posted and I promise to do the same in that wretched and backward land of Germania.

She likes Pride and Prejudice. Yeah, I know.

But it makes sense that Korean people would really be interested in Victorian lit stuff. They can relate, as a culture, very much to social status (and breaking social status) as a source of conflict, because that's *exactly the way things are here, now*.

I've recommended to her, Marc Nesbitt (because of how much of a genius lunatic he is), and Chuck Palahniuk (because I don't know anyone who can so effectively be a breaking point against the sleepy century-old texts she's been reading in her lit classes). No, seriously. You think there's not enough contemporary lit in American English programs? She rattled off a list of things she's read, and the most recent one was Winesburg, Ohio. Good book, but... it was 1919, for Christ's sake.
