Cold weather... Again. I understand
that this is supposed to happen in the spring, but the snow that we
are supposed to be getting later tonight is simply ridiculous.
Even though there are four more weeks
of school left and not a lot of time to be reading right now, I have
been thinking about things that I would like to read. I would like to
read some of the older things like Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare,
which I own in the original, almost impossible to read old English. I
would also like to read some more of Edgar Allen Poe's works.
I know that both are more on the
macabre side of the printed text, but I think that things like that
are interesting. I enjoy the way that scenes and people and objects
and places are described to the reader. While it may be a little bit
on the darker side of describing things, I kind of think that a lot
of these kinds of texts have better descriptions and are worded
better than their more cheerful counterparts. (I blame my mother and
step-father for my oddness in thinking like this. They are the ones
who introduced me to this world. I can say this because my mother
LOVES Vincent Price movies, which are typically old, creepy,
macabre, etc.)
I am not sure if I will actually be
able to get around to reading these things on my list, but it would
be nice if I could!
