| Introduction | My life (and consequently my blog) is dominated by books, music, movies, and faith. I belong in academia, and I am grateful to BYU for recognizing this and affording me the opportunity to persue a master's in English--step one in my quest to be The Coolest Professor of British Modernism EVER! I am currently The Coolest Young Spinster EVER and will continue to be such until Providence directs otherwise. |
| Interests | British Modernism, Great Britain, Literature, History, Literary Theory, Music, Psychology, Cooking, Yoga, Dance (tap and modern), good movies, art, museums, people, becoming a better person. |
| Favorite Movies | Movie of the moment: (500) Days of Summer, It Might Get Loud. Young Family Classics: Forget Paris, French Kiss, IQ, Moonstruck, Young Frankenstein, Uncle Buck, Surf Ninjas, Big Trouble in Little China, McClintock, The Quiet Man, The Trouble with Harry, and The Philadelphia Story. Two movies I have claimed as favorites: Miracle, Good Night and Good Luck. |
| Favorite Music | Janis Joplin, The White Stripes, Led Zeppelin, Garbage, The Foo Fighters, Interpol, Patsy Cline, Kate Nash. |
| Favorite Books | This is always been so hard. I appreciate a lot of things--some as great pieces of literature, others as great pieces of genre fiction or as horribly-written, masterful examinations of the human condition. So, yea, here goes: Virginia Woolf's-- especially "A Room of One's Own, " To the Lighthouse, and The Years, (and her short story "Lapin and Lapinova"), Junie B. Jones and the Mushy Gushy Valentime, Flannery O'Connor: The Complete Stories, The Grapes of Wrath, Madeleine L'Engle's Crosswicks Journals, Amy Tan's--especially The Bonesetter's Daughter, and The Kitchen God's Wife, A Christmas Carol--the book is better, and funnier, than any movie, My anthologies-- especially the criticism one, My usage dictionaries, My style guides, The Bell Jar, And others. I own over 200 books. Choosing favorites is a problem. The above is really only a start. |
