how winter quarter stacked up...

Tonight I finished The Tempest and, in so doing, finished off my reading load for the quarter.

And what a load it has been...

*Disclaimer: I have not read everything in that pile... but most of it.

For some of those books, only portions were assigned (e.g. Shakespeare and Mansfield).

The Rainbow - D. H. Lawrence

Othello - William Shakespeare

Macbeth - William Shakespeare

Selected Short Stories - Katherine Mansfield

Clarissa - Samuel Richardson

King Lear - William Shakespeare

Moments of Being - Virginia Woolf

To the Lighthouse - Virginia Woolf

Measure for Measure - William Shakespeare

Waterland - Graham Swift

Winter's Tale - William Shakespeare

Tom Jones - Henry Fielding

Atonement - Ian McEwan

The Tempest - William Shakespeare

But I added up an approximation of what I actually read:

Nearly 2500 pages in 2 months (62 days to be precise)

Things I cannot count: The number of...

...times I groaned reading Lawrence

...times I thought, "Ok, Clarissa, we get it. Move along now."

...beautiful quotes in Moments

...moments of frustration with Tom Jones

...nights/mornings my family found me asleep on a couch--book in my lap, crick in my neck

haha... yes, I'm odd.

I'm a nerd.

And I seriously couldn't have done this quarter without Jesus!

Now, after reading 2,500 pages, how hard could it possibly be to write 20?
