There is always something that triggers a stupid idea in everyone, whether it is love, people, letters on a piece of paper, or a movie, ideas flow at a moment that they shouldn’t. So, this is the story:
Last night after a very interesting evening (this will be discussed in another post, btw) with a very surprising end I went to the video store to rent a video I heard was very good. And indeed it was, but it also gave me an idea.
The movie: Julie & Julia.
The idea: blog every book I read
As you all know I’m taking a phd in Comparative Literature, thus, I’m a great fan of novels, or anything that has words on. So, this is the challenge. If people can blog about recipes based on a book, I can blog about reading books. So, from today on my posts will be basically what I’ve read, or what I’m reading at the moment.
In the past two months I read Salinger’s The catcher in the Rye, Faulkner’s The sound and the fury, Bronte’s Jane Eyre, and now I am reading Sanctuary, also by Faulkner, which was given to me as a gift. In the process of writing my dissertation I also read three plays by Tony Kushner, and a lot of different essays by Rousseau, Kant, Benjamin Constant, Nietzsche, and Horkheimer.
So, be ready because this will be a tough challenge. Hope you will be here with me.. hehe.
