Bibliomania!
I guess I've not told you guys what I'm up to this year/semester. So here goes - the subjects I'm taken over summer and am doing now.
1) The Good Life In Ancient Thought
2) Asia, The Pacific, And The West In History
3) Postmodernism
4) Imagining The City
5) Psychoanalysis And Theory
Cool eh? I think so too. ;) There's alot to read, for classes, for assignments, for my last minute/last semester attempt to learn as much as possible before I leave an academic environment.
Here's the reading I've got waiting for me on my bookshelf this semester:
1) Slaughterhouse 5 - Kurt Vonnegurt
2) Aeneid - Virgil
3) The Moral Life - Steven Luperfoy
4) Still at, Nickel & Dimed - Barbara Ehrenreich
5) The Short-Timers - Gustav Hasford
6) The Portable Nietszche - Walter Kaufmann
7) Nietszsche - Martine Heidegger
8) The Freud Reader - Peter Gay
9) Shame - Salman Rushdie
10) The Crying Of Lot 49 - Thomas Pynchon
11) The Book of Daniel - E.L.Doctorow
And I've not added in all the prescribed reading for my course yet!
Can I do it? Am I too ambitious?

oh! read an essay about "the crying of lot 49" yesterday. something about a postal plot, or someone fantasising that there was a postal plot, or at least a plot to trap her into thinking there was one. seems like quite a fascinating story.
