Final month!
Quick review on this week's readings:
Dec 9 The Fugitive Slave Law: 3/5 Well that's shitty.
Dec 10 The Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini: 2/5 He's a slightly less funny edgelord in this one.
Dec 11 Alcibiades by Plutarch: 3/5 Probably the strangest Lives excerpt of the year.
Dec 12 Poems by Browning: 1/5 So far past my bad poem quota for the year.
Dec 13 Sir Francis Drake's Famous Voyage... by Pretty: 3/5 It's where you bend your Ell!
Dec 13 Poems by Plutarch: 1/5 Please stop.
Dec 14 The Odyssey by Homer: 3/5 Vampire Ghosts!
Average: 2.29 Ugh, poetry.
Overall Thoughts on The Project:
If all the poetry hadn't bombed, I was thinking about rereading Cellini to see if I could justify moving it up to a three. But then there was more bad/generic poetry, so it didn't matter. I think if your poetry involves telling me something is beautiful you should just stop, since it's already been done a few million times poorly, and you're probably not going to do any better.
