To begin . . .

I've decided to start with CSL's Allegory of Love, which I finally got on ebay for under $50. And I'll also start Tolkien's The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun, which I just got, too. In January I'll be re-reading CSL's Ransom trilogy with my Special Topics class. I've got a couple books on Lewis as well to read along with those. I always like to read a work of fiction along with a critical work--seems to be a nice way to balance things and helps me look at the fiction from new angles.

Getting things set up

I just watched Julie and Julia and decided I want to try writing a blog this year. And while I do like to cook, I'm going to blog about my reading, specifically about my reading--and re-reading--of texts by the Inklings.
