OK, back on track now.
Quick review on this week's readings:
Nov 4 Wilhelm Tel by Von Schiller: 3/5 Cool to read an actual version of this. I was vaguely aware of the story, but just from 30 second parodies and stuff.
Nov 5 "Morte D'Arthur" by Tennison: 3/5 Decent enough version of the grail story.
Nov 6 "The Valiant Little Tailor" by The Brother's Grimm: 3/5 Light and silly.
Nov 7 "On Inoculation" by Voltaire: 3/5 The historical basis of Twi'leks?
Nov 8 Aeneid by Virgil: 2/5 Probably better in a different translation.
Nov 9 Thoughts by Pascal: 1/5 Pascal's villain rant about failing math.
Nov 10 The Origin of Species by Darwin: 3/5 Lamarckian Darwin!
Average: 2.57 Had a real streak going early on.
Overall Thoughts on The Project:
The dichotomy here is interesting. We start the week with classic legends, folk tales, etc. Wilhelm Tell, Grimm, King Arthur. Then (except for Virgil) it's all non-fiction in the back half. I don't think there's been any other weeks split like that.
