I’m STILL reading SP’s Unabridged Journals! I’m keeping a quote journal so I get to something in her journal and I have to write it down… ;)
And there’s always a poetry book somewhere to be found. Just finished Meghan O’Rourke’s Half Life…

McGuire — OK if you read any of these you’ve GOT to read Women’s Work, it’s the best poetry anthology ever ever ever!
…unless you’re only into male poets I guess! :P
V excited for tomorrow night! See you then :)

I’ve got plenty of time for the ladies of literature. Got a copy of Scottish Women Poet - interesting stuff. Lots of Gaelic mind you, which I don’t know how to read. But yes, Women’s work…is on the list now.

Yikes.
I’m almost positive I have that exact copy of The Norton Anthology of Poetry.

I finished the second book of John Burnside’s autobiography ‘Waking up in ToyTown’ which was as excellent as the first. Despite the difficult and often harrowing subject matter, then book is somehow enjoyable to read.
Just started reading Solar by Ian McEwan. Don’t know if it’s as good as earlier books by him, still to early to tell.

[...] to injury… I haven’t actually read anything this week that didn’t appear in last week’s post. I finished the first first-year thesis draft, though, so hopefully I can get back to reading [...]
