Summer-ing & Comp-ing

I feel guilty for not continuing a few of my Dagzine projects: problems for poetics, problems with poetry market, etc. September 11, believe it or not, will be the day after I turn in my exams. I will get back into the swing of things, then, I guess. I hope you all will put up with the meager offerings until then.

I am knee-deep in comprehensive exams mess. I am leaving town for my B-Day and will be studying poolside in Las Vegas.

I thought I would share what I have read so far, since June 15:

From Nietzsche:

• Birth of Tragedy
• Human, all too Human
• Daybreak
• Thus Spake Zarathustra
• Gay Science

From my "Novel as Document" list:

• Chopin. The Awakening
• Defoe. Journal of the Plague Year
• Darnton. The Great Cat Massacre
• Dostoyevsky. Crimes and Punishment
• Eliot. Felix Holt, the Radical
  
• Faulkner. The Sound and the Fury
• Ginzburg. The Cheese and the Worms
• Joyce. Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
• Kempe. The Book of Margery Kempe
• Nabakov. Pale Fire
• Saramago. History of the Seige of Lisbon
• White. Tropics of Discourse
• Bataille, Georges. Blue of Noon
• Bronte. Wuthering Heights
• Capote. In Cold Blood

Poolside, I will be reading Gertrude Stein, TS Eliot, James Weldon Johnson.
I doubt I will sleep much.
