Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-06-20

Tired but afraid I'll have trouble sleeping for nervousness before the big read. #
My reading schedule, not counting built-in spillage days, is 52 days long. The number of weeks in a year. The number of cards in a deck. #
Just purchased and shuffled a deck of cards for my 52 days of reading. Will turn a card for each day. Today's: Jack of clubs. #reading #
Not yet sure what I'll do with this playing card information. #reading #
Ace of Diamonds: Watt-Rise of the Novel; Defoe-Robinson Crusoe; McKeon-Theory of the Novel #
Watt sez Quixote is myth not novel, but both book and character are more self-aware (1 of Watt's criteria(?)) than Robinson Crusoe. #
7 of Diamonds: Frye, Freud, Benjamin; Richardson, Fielding; Auerbach (there's no way) #
Who doesn't want to cap off a day of intense reading by going to Flatiron Crossing in Broomfield? #
2 of clubs: Auerbach, Sterne, Bakhtin (Frye? Freud?) (and I keep forgetting the hash tag) #reading #
The first yerba mate of the afternoon is steeping . . . #
6 of hearts: Hawthorne, Melville, and a 9 hour drive. #
6:30 in Iowa is 5:30 in Denver, but it's important to get to the firehouse early for pancakes. #
