My Amazon Bounty

Today was Black Friday. In my world, that means "buy books for steep discounts on Amazon.com". Well, I did just that. Here's my purchases as of today! Yippeee!

Auden is one of my favorite poets - ever. I just

love his style and poetic graces. He's also a wonderful

literary critic, if you're in the market for that kind of stuff.

I'm also taking a 20th century poetry class next quarter,

where we'll get to look at his stuff in depth. Exciting!

This book is written by one of my favorite professors ever, Dr. Deutsch.

She's going to be my faculty mentor on my undergraduate thesis

where I'll be writing about (surprise!) Dr. Johnson. I'm

so excited about this opportunity to work with her and

to learn from her. She's just awesome.

Nothing strikes fear into the heart of an English major like preparing

for the literature subject test GRE. It's one of those tests that's

not designed to be mastered, but survived. Basically, I'm responsible

for the whole scope of British/American Literature. So,

I'm trying to get an early start.

Yikes.

I love Virginia Woolf's fiction.

I love reading famous diaries.

Awesome.

I've fallen in love with Pessoa's easy, relaxed, and open style of writing.

His poems read like music. Since I love his poetry, I'm hoping

the same will be with this book, published post-humously.

There you have it folks! My Black Friday deals!
