We were treated to a beautiful sunset the other night.
Today is December 1. Happy December First! On the first day of each month, my mom and I would rush to be the first one to call on the phone with that greeting.
It’s time for a new reading list from my DIL’s AP English syllabus. I didn’t complete November’s reading because of two trips to help my kids post surgeries. I did enjoy “The Stranger” by Camus and Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman.” It was my first time reading “The Stranger.”
Here’s December’s Reading List:
Have you read any of the short fiction or novel from the syllabus? If so, what have your read?
It’s that time of the month to post my son and DIL’s reading syllabus for the next month! My DIL teaches English at a private school for students who may struggle with school for various reasons, but are very intelligent. I’m posting the current reading assignments in case you’d like to follow along — or are looking for something good to read.
I will admit, I didn’t keep up with October’s reading list. I wondered how the month went by so quickly! I did read — plus listen to “Revolutionary Road” by Richard Yates. I read Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman” on the flight to and from Oakland. I’m currently reading “The Stranger” by Camus.
I’m behind, but the syllabus is expanding my reading to include poetry, novellas, plays and fiction that I normally wouldn’t read. I see that as a good thing, even though I’m not sticking to the schedule.
My son had his pre-op appointment for his surgery and wouldn’t you know it? It’s the day after my bunion surgery. I postponed my surgery until next year. I’m going up to take care of my son in November for his surgery, just like I did in October for my daughter. We are enjoying taking care of our grand-dog Waffles in between surgeries. We are on a pretty good schedule and I look forward to our walks together almost as much as Waffles does!
