While I am stuck at home this weekend writing papers, my friends are running off to have fun at Mammoth. Traitors! Turncoats!
Speaking of good books, I am taking another class with PH next quarter. It is a 300 level 20th century Europe, so basically I am using it an excuse to write another paper that will help me along with my thesis. But the books he's assigned are very good, three of them by women! including Vera Brittain, who, amazingly enough, I have never read. This is probably surprising as she is most likely the only women in WWI book most people have read, if they have read any, but she is in France after all, and I don't "France." Anyway, it will be good to read her and see what all the hype is about. Aha, my prejudices are leaking out already. But once I have read the book, at least they will have backing. Or maybe I will be surprised. It's not that I am expecting it to be terrible, I'm sure its really quite good; I am just expecting it to be not as good as some of the really good ones I have read.

I'm using Olive King and Isabel Emslie Hutton in my research paper. These were the first two books I read back when I started working for PK, and I'm noticing all kinds of good stuff I didn't know to notice back then. I think it will be a good research paper.
