Supplemental Reading

Up next, I plan to read

Ecce Homo by Nietzche
The Nothing That Is: A Natural History of the Zero by Robert Kaplan
The White Goddess by Robert Graves

Just When You Think You're Done

I was convinced I was done with this whole GR thing since well I have an affective filter built up to it for a little bit, but then the other day I was at the amazing used bookstore in San Jose and found a book on the history of the ZERO. Fantastic!!!! and so I will begin again.

Purpose/ About Me

My name is Gwendolyn, and I'm writing this blog to keep up my desire to analyze complicated literary texts. I thought perhaps if I wrote about this novel, I might perhaps be able to keep a record and come to a kind of thematic understanding of the text.

Other than keeping a blog about a book no one reads, I enjoy reading the New England Journal of Medicine, swimming, researching things no one else wants to talk about, taking pictures of broken things and houses that are uninhabitable, and bugging people about eating vegetables. I am also finishing a Master's degree at San Jose State University.
