ok....it's 11:52pm and i barely made it!!! (i'm packing my entire life up and moving this week, so i've been a bit crazy...) i'm quite enjoying "beloved", although i certainly haven't read as much as i'd like to by now. i'm hoping to rent the movie this weekend so that i might gain a wee bit o' insight into the lives of morrison's many characters. it IS a bit confusing and i find myself only reading small chunks at any one time--although i anticipate really enjoying it the further i go. i would like to add that i didn't post a message last week (due to technical difficulties...)but i REALLY enjoyed rereading "the bean
trees". i am a huge kingsolver fan and was pleased that this book was included in our required reading. i am also really pleased with the approach that christina has taken with this class----who would have thought to include such a diverse group of writings with the common theme of "family" as the uniting factor? you, that's who! i love it.....and will be very happy when i'm done moving and i can get back to life as "normal". outta time.....more later.
