Tonight I finished Moby-Dick! If I've gained anything from my current teaching position, it's the will to accomplish this great feat. Along the way, I found a new book to add to my absolute favorites.
Moby-Dick taught me that anything can be a reference and everything is interconnected. One of Nukah's teeth fell out; somehow, this object will serve as a symbol for finishing a great literary classic.
Pam, if you're reading this, I want nothing more than to read all of the wonderful books that you gave me for Hanukah, but they will have to wait until the school year is finished. For now, they are stacked on my shelf, taunting me with their potential to take me away.
Up now:
A third reading of Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man
A second reading of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World
A first reading of Life of Pi
