Schooooooool.
It returns on the morrow, and I want absolutely nothing less.
My present dilemma is thus: I am supposed to have read a book this summer. Ha!
I regret to inform you, Professor, that I, a super-senior English major, read no books at all this summer. I did read many works of fiction by independent writers online (read: PWP fic), a great stack of young adult novels that I am ashamed to acknowledge, and the first page of The Great Gatsby. Sum total of my reading.
I watched so much TV, though. I can run you through script after script after script after script, if you like. I think it counts as literature, don't you? It's very creative.
Okay, so perhaps I exaggerate just a bit. I did read a lot of books this summer, but it was all in one great spurt, and none of them really qualify as 'collegiate' reading. I am not disparaging YA lit, but I fear my classmates or, more troublingly, my professor, will.
Will I lie?
Will I be truthful?
What book were you to read?
ReplyDeleteWhat professor? AHH BUT YOU PROBABLY READ MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE DID THIS SUMMER . . .
Captcha says: "92 orksword."
Goddard wants us to bring a book or a summary of a book that we read this summer for everyone to discuss. whyyyyyyy
DeleteTHAT SOUNDS PAINFUL LET'S DO SOMETHING ELSE
ReplyDeleteYOU SHOULD TOTALLY BRING IN LIKE A PRINTOUT OF THIS AWESOME FANFIC
AND DISCUSS IT LIKE THE GREATEST LITERATURE
"SEE, THE AUTHOR CLEARLY USES THIS SCENE OF EROTIC LOVE-MAKING BETWEEN KIRK AND SPOCK AS AN ALLEGORY FOR THE FEMINIST MOVEMENT; IF ONLY THE MEN IN THE WORLD LEARNED TO GIVE AND TAKE AS EQUALS WITH WOMEN, AS KIRK LEARNS TO DO WITH SPOCK ALTHOUGH HE DOES NOT USUALLY 'CONCEDE' . . . "
Sorry. I cannot even.
I FOUND IT
