http://professorshakeit.blogspot.com/2010/01/books-i-read-in-high-school-or-before.html
Saturday, January 2, 2010. Books I Read in High School (or before), Part III. Hopefully, I will finish the list of books I read in high school (or before) with this blog. then I can move on to the book I just finished before I backtrack through college and other books I read on my own, before the dawning of the Great Book Throw-Down. Zora Neale Hurston. Their Eyes Were Watching God. It was like a flute song forgotten in another existence and remembered again. What? Mitchell, Margaret - Gone With the Wind.

The Great Book Throw-Down: The Story
http://professorshakeit.blogspot.com/2009/12/story.html
Friday, December 18, 2009. Ok, it seems as though everyone and his or her brother has a blog these days, and why should I be different? My husband had a blog a couple of years ago that chronicled his HIV/TB relief efforts in Kenya, but I don't have any travels that adventurous going on any time soon. and, to be frank, I don't think my day to day life is that interesting. So, what could I possibly blog about? I clearly love books, but what could I blog about that might interest other people? Critics Lev G...

The Great Book Throw-Down: Philip Roth - American Pastoral
http://professorshakeit.blogspot.com/2010/01/philip-roth-american-pastoral.html
Monday, January 4, 2010. Philip Roth - American Pastoral. Unlike DFW's prose, which springs out of some sort of manic obsession, Roth is so controlled, much like the exterior of the Swede's ideal life. As the lives of the Levovs spin out of control, Roth's prose loosens and seems to wander, but Roth is still in control of every word. This is good writing, and you can feel it. I haven't read it yet, but Revolutionary Road. Amy Sekhar, aka Professor Shake-It. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 8220;Impond...

The Great Book Throw-Down: January 2010
http://professorshakeit.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 24, 2010. Books I read on my own, some time in college or grad school. Although I spent most of my time in college and grad school reading French lit, I did try, however, to broaden my mind beyond the lovely Hexagone of French literature. The next few blogs will concentrate on books I read "just because". AS Byatt, Possession. Reading this book was a wonderful experience (and so was the lecture! About this book is simply beautiful:. 8230;words have been all my life, all my life- this need...

The Great Book Throw-Down: Books I Read in High School (or before), Part I
http://professorshakeit.blogspot.com/2009/12/books-i-read-in-high-school-or-before.html
Friday, December 18, 2009. Books I Read in High School (or before), Part I. Instead of attempting to write about the 26 books I have. Read on the list all at once, I want to break them down into when I read them (although some of them I've read more than once). So, first. the early years. Read The Catcher in the Rye. 1984, Catch-22,. Or To Kill a Mocking Bird. Sawako Ariyoshi's The Twighlight Years. Natsume Soseki's Kokoro,. RK Naryan's The Guide. Sylvia Plath's poetry, Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse,.

The Great Book Throw-Down: Books I Read in High School (or before), Part II
http://professorshakeit.blogspot.com/2009/12/books-i-read-in-high-school-or-before_21.html
Monday, December 21, 2009. Books I Read in High School (or before), Part II. Lord of the Flies. This was another 9th grade read, or so it seems to me. This is one of those books - like Le Petit Prince. The Sun Also Rises. To be honest, this is one of those books that doesn't have much of a plot; it's just a bunch of ex-pat Americans running around 1920s Europe (mostly Spain) drinking their pain away, not really saying what they ought or want to say to each other. Lots of repressed feelings in this one.
