I'm making breakfast for dinner to celebrate my wife's thesis after this.
Quick review on this week's readings:
Nov 11 Poems by Whitman: 3/5 Unconventional subjects, pretty good poems.
Nov 12 Paradise Lost by Milton: 3/5 An actual good(ish) Paradise Lost section!
Nov 13 The Confessions of Saint Augustine: 2/5 I waffled on scoring this one a lot. Strong front half, iffy back half.
Nov 14 "Uniformity of Change" by Lyell: 1/5 Not very interesting, and hard to comprehend.
Nov 15 I Promessi Sposi (The Betrothed) by Allessandro Manzoni : 2/5 Random section way after the rest of the book.
Nov 16 Two Years Before the Mast by Dana: 3/5 California Girls are have but little virtue doesn't have the same ring to it.
Nov 17 Sir Walter Scott by Carylye: 0/5 What even is this?
Average: 2 This was a really hard to rate week.
Overall Thoughts on The Project:
Sure, my wife is getting a doctorate, but did she do fifteen minutes a day of a pseudo liberal studies degree? No. (She did a lot more work, but I didn't have to put up with her cohort and professors.)
