rootofnewtI can't remember his reasons, nor how he came to the conclusion, but boy is compiling a spreadsheet of literature he must read. I forget why. I think he wants to be more politically and philosophically aware and has decided that he needs more background reading.
It does make sense. I just wish I could remember why he's doing this. It has something to do with pop culture.
I've read some of the stuff on his list. He's going to be visiting the library a lot. Hopefully the books won't be too dusty or stinky. It would be nice if libraries would only give cards to people who didn't smoke or use perfume, fragranced lotion, air freshener, or scented candles. That's not likely to happen. *sigh*
I've threatened to just take his list and read it in a month, but that wouldn't be very nice of me.
Instead, I just act scandalized at the fact that he made it out of high school without reading Theodore Dreiser AND made it through a Literature baccalaureate degree program without reading him, either.
I'm not really scandalized. I actually read Dreiser by choice, but I'm not telling him that.
I'm going to see if I can get him to put the computer down and watch Hedwig with me soon.
