- @Zommie I love West Wing too! So good.
- Dare I do it? I'm starting blogging again -- but I suspect I'll be a little different from now on http://bit.ly/bbKvZx
- My son's obsession has been Goldilocks and the 3 bears. This morning he's playing "Blue's Clues and the 3 Bears." Hmmm...
- I spent way too long this a.m. taking apart my dishwasher to clean the filter. I'm hoping that cleaner dishes make the effort worth it.
- The REALLY OLD CLASSICS Challenge starts today! And goes for four months. One work in four months....very doable. http://bit.ly/d3Q1Xr
Here are my reviews:
Metamorphosis – Franz Kafka
Miss Julie – August Strindberg
The Watsons – Jane Austen
I have at least one more M-H book on my shelf already, so I’m making up for the brevity of my choices with quantity.
Persepolis – Marjane Satrapi
I finished already! I felt guilty for not finishing the first quarter I guess.
My reviews are:
Maus by Art Spiegelman
Gilgamesh translation by Stephen Mitchell
hhmm my link for Maus seems to be broken. Try this one!
Anthem – Ayn Rand
Both versions of Gilgamesh:

Here is my review for “Anthem” by Ayn Rand:

I’m currently reading “The Bluest Eye” and I expect to have the review for that up by the end of the quarter!
My post on “The Bluest Eye” by Toni Morrison is up now, at http://lifeisapatchworkquilt.com/blog/?p=879. “Anthem” was the other book for this quarter’s challenge.
