Fall intersession = reading, reading, and more reading! Gotta make up for all that leisure reading time I miss out on when school is in session.
Books I've zipped through lately:
- "The Namesake" by Jhumpa Lahiri
- Book 1 of "Buddha" by Osamu Tezuka (manga series)
- finishing up "The Elephant Vanishes" by Haruki Murakami, who still holds his spot as my favorite writer
While I've been tackling my enormous pile of papers that need grading, and trying to be a little more planned-out for the upcoming semester, I've been thinking about how I'd like to mark the end of first quarter with a reflection. (Not to mention that I'd like to record some amazing stuff that came out during our last class meeting). But until then, I'll leave you with a little Murakami:
"Don't try so hard to be the penetrating observer. Writing, after all, is a makeshift thing."
-- from the short story "A Window"
