I stayed awake long enough!

I have read the stuff from class, and the essays from the Reader, and the list of read-before-Wednesday.

Next is "Read Jekyll and Hyde", so I'm off to Project Gutenberg, because I only have the Ladybird book.



I'm going to strike through things I've read, because progress is fun.

William Holman Hunt: The Awakening Conscience

Robert Louis Stevenson: Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde

I've got a bunch of Sherlock Holmes around here somewhere, but not on the first three book cases I checked, so google is undoubtedly quicker.

I've also got that Pulp book on the shelf just behind me, because my college books are thankfully more organised than my fiction.

More reading! Yaays!

... oh, probably I should eat first, since I forgot since... when I got home yesterday... 29 hours ago... *facepalm*

Ooh, Raymond Chandler!

What, no Hammett?

It looks like an interesting class. I look forward to reading your comments. Now, go eat something!
