Hello, Summer!

Nothing says fun like a seven-page, single-spaced reading list covering every major work of English literature from Beowulf to Beloved. Measuring up to something in the neighborhood of 13,000 pages, the Master's Exam Reading List is its own private hell. And then you actually have to take the exam itself. Oh, frabjous day!

To save my own sanity--and to delight my brothers-in-arms (or whatever voyeurs might happen across this blog)--I will be posting daily haikus here for the next two months. They will be about the books, the authors, and just the general feelings of warmth and fuzziness that arise from reading seven or eight hours a day, every day, for two months straight.

Bon appetit.
