Making the most of the pre-dawn hours this Saturday morning, I checked in with Anotherthing2<\/a>, who resumed posting for a while after an absence. He had an excellent link to a reading list<\/a> for college freshmen and sophomores; of the 57 works noted, I’ve read about 20 of them at some point in my life.<\/p>\n

Many of those were not as a college student, but as a sophomore at Oak Ridge High School, courtesy of a tough but enjoyable class known as Combined Studies. Several others were in various English classes in high school, except Don Quixote, which we covered in Spanish III.<\/p>\n

Leaving one’s laptop open overnight with cats in the house can result in all manner of strange key combinations being pressed. That’s the one I woke up to this morning.<\/p>\n

My cats are as strange as everyone else in this house. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
