Read-a-thon Report No. 5

Since the last update, I've spent only about an hour and a half reading. I read twenty pages in D.H. Lawrence's The Rainbow, the book I've been reading for most of the month (still a little more than a hundred pages to go), and Angela Carter's story "The Bloody Chamber."

The Carter made me feel icky. I think I'll go take a shower.

    Hey just wanted to come by and cheer you on during the read-a-thon. It seems that I've been hearing a lot about Angela Carter lately. One of these days I will have to read something by her.

  3. Lawrence is one of those writers who, even though I've never read anything by him, I shy away from automatically. Maybe I'll have to give him a try!
