Just read Uncle Tom's Cabin! Last week discovered William Carlos Williams and am revelling in his poetry.

Baz Luhrmann is remaking the movie (as 3D??), and I will come after him something fierce if he ruins it. Of course, Leo DiCaprio <i>is</i> playing Gatsby, so the movie does have that going for it...Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09419801317170775691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1350332514577320343.post-81161280151249551962011-05-20T06:12:16.014-07:002011-05-20T06:12:16.014-07:00Love this book and all of you fellow English major...Love this book and all of you fellow English majors! I often grow nostalgic for the student days of absorbing book after book after book. However, now as a working professional we have the means to build our own personal collection, rather than borrow from the library all the time.
