LLP: June 2009 Monthly Plan

I'm opting for summer vacation! Sort of. :-) This month I will focus on my reading challenges, especially the Countdown Challenge and the TBR Challenge, other random reads that I've had waiting around on shelves at home, and requests that come into the library. I have some ideas fluttering around the edges of my subconscious regarding the "book about books" I keep blathering about writing, so I also want to spend some time seeing if I can mold them into anything concrete.

Beyond that, I make no plans or promises other than to dutifully report on all I discover. Happy reading, everyone!

A Failure To Plan. . .

. . . is a plan to fail. Annoying, but true. I've been distracted, and I need to utilize this blog to keep me at least halfway focused. Therefore, here is my plan for the rest of March:

Read: Book III of The Faerie Queene
Read: Catherine Carmier by Ernest J. Gaines
Read: Day by Elie Wiesel
Read: Survival In Auschwitz by Primo Levy
Read: The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy by Laurence Stone
Listen To: Teaching Company lecture on Tristam Shandy
Read: Chapters 3 & 4 from The Cambridge Introduction to Narrative
Read: Chapter 2 from Writing About Literature

There. Now I have all of you to demand an explanation if I slack off. :-) It's not too demanding being as there are only about two weeks left of the month, and my T-Wolves will be demanding a chunk of my attention with the NBA season winding down. Once that is over (April 15 for us), it's gloves-off for my learning plan!

Feel free to comment or ask questions about anything I'm doing or reading for my Lifelong Learning Project (temporary name until I come up with something clever). Interaction with classmates is an important component of the educational experience! :-)

Happy Friday, All!
