Hey, welcome to the new blog. I’m still fiddling around with the format (I can’t figure out how to get it to display the quote, and “two motives” makes no sense without it). Old entries can be found here.
I went to Half Price today for the last day of the 20% off sale and bought the following:
Tender is the Night – F. Scott Fitzgerald
This Side of Paradise – F. Scott Fitzgerald
Enduring Love – Ian McEwan
The Namesake – Jhumpa Lahiri
Achilles: A Novel – Elizabeth Cook
The Hunters – Claire Messud
The Folding Star – Alan Hollinghurst
Mm. I think I will end up taking a whole duffel bag full of books back to school with me, since I’ve acquired about 18 new books in the past week. I have no idea how I’ll manage to get them home this summer. So be it.
In other news, I’m currently watching Kenneth Branagh’s Henry V right now. I love Shakespeare, this play, and Kenneth Branagh, so it’s perfect. His version of Hamlet, which I have been dying to see for weeks now, is in at the library (although it’s in VHS format, which is bullshit), so I’m probably going to watch that tomorrow night. Mmm, Shakespeare.
After I finish this movie I think I’ll go read Portrait of a Lady for a while. It is really charming so far.
