My New Frames...
... as of yet, sans lenses. The little logo printed on the store non-prescription lenses is below my eye, and they are reflective, unlike the real lenses will be. Still, I'm very excited.

I'm contemplating writing an essay on public/private spheres in Auden. Any thoughts? Also in the writing arena, I managed a Spenserian sonnet yesterday, which deeply pleases me. This summer was intended to be Get a Grip on Form and Metre Season.
Reading beautifully haunting Ishiguro... there's a reason he won the Booker! This is his newest novel, and it raises some interesting bioethical questions while being deeply moving and not overtly futuristic or overwrought. It's a deceptively simple story that builds in force. I highly recommend it both to the local collegiate literati, who may be inclined to dismiss it due to it's relative popularity, and to my darling Nerdly Illiterati (you know who you are), who would be inclined to avoid it due to its much publicised highbrow following. Never Let Me Go (ignore the fact that the title at first appears swoony or sentimental-- it isn't in context) is the rare novel that succeeds at being both accesible and unabashedly well-written.
