kjpepperI'm reading China Mountain Zhang for English class. Yes, I know, I should be doing REAL homework, but I do technically have to get some chunk of the way through this book for Monday, and at least I'm having fun. Much more fun than I was having with the Left Hand of my Buttcrack earlier. I think I've just about given up on Ursula K. LeGuin at this point, I haven't liked any of her stuff so far, except for maybe the short stories, and that was probably because they were, you know, short...
Anyway. The bit of the book I'm currently reading takes place in Canada, somewhere up near the north pole, and the narrator is talking about having been there all winter with no sunlight... how there was a full moon lazily circling the sky for six nights, how the sky is dripping with stars, how moonlight on snow is bright enough to read by as it streams into a window, and how the week before Groundhog Day there's been a brightening in the sky around midday, when the sun almost comes up but not quite until finally one day a sliver of fire peeks above the horizon and disappears ten minutes later.
Note to self: I think I must see this someday.

Anyhow, always have found your comments in class and on the boards to be enlightening. You think much better than I do at 10 AM.
