Which Ander class is this? Nonfiction? What an excellent reading list!

Wow. I'm really proud of you kid. This sounds like neat stuff. Whenever I think of grad school, I get this pukey sensation where I'm like "WHO WOULD WANT EVEN MORE SCHOOL!?!?!?" But reading about your exploits makes me not get that pukey sensation. And that's good. So yeah. I know you'll do well.

rainy_day_woman October 25 2006, 00:15:42 UTC

Yeah, I wouldn't jump the gun on that pukey feeling. I mean, most of the time when I think about what I'm doing (three years? MFA?) and hear about what I can do ("You really need a Ph D to teach") I really really get that pukey feeling. But at least I can make all right money whilst doing...something. Argh.

:).

Good to hear from you.

not that i know shit about graphic novels, but i can suggest "our cancer year" by harvey pekar.

also to learn more about what these novels were, i looked up wikipedia right quick and they had a list of graphic novels.

Aaahhh, good. Thanks--see, this is what I wanted. Excellent.

I'm also interested in the children's literature, because I want to make the class as dynamic as possible: I think, during this short term, we'll be meeting for like, 3 hrs a day, 4 days a week. Suck.

And I've tried to update LJ like, 50 times since I've gotten here. And I just feel like whatever I have to say is boring.

:).

So you should update more often, too, Ms. McKay.

WOW I just looked at _Embroideries_ on Bookslut! Thanks SO MUCH for this title...Oooh, I'm excited about this class. Thanks thanks.

Tom introduced me to "Mother Come Home" and it is the most beautiful book ever, also there is one that I need to research, and I will post once I find out what it is called.

rainy_day_woman October 25 2006, 18:40:45 UTC

:(. I am writing you back. In paper form. I will have lots to say, as I have been terribly, terribly lax. Unresponsive, in fact.

Yes, I love love Mother Come Home. I'm considering that because it's short. And gorgeous. I want to keep the list culturally diverse? So not too many white people? Ha.
