No, Contrary, they haven’t called, nor have they emailed. I’m still waiting. It’s okay, though; I’ve got a zillion things to do to keep me occupied while I wait (though I do have to admit to being slightly disappointed when the phone rings and it ISN’T LHS…)

I read Heart of Darkness in high school and actually really liked it because it just wasn’t like anything I had read before. I am not sure how to describe it, perhaps, ’strange’ is a good word to use, but that doesn’t seem to quite get it either. But it was good nonetheless, though sometimes discussing it in class was hard because some of my classmates didn’t ‘get it’ – the whole Imperialism thing was lost on some of them, though that discussion in itself is kind of beat now.
I actually have not read The Poisonwood Bible yet, though the discussion is making me want to! I have always enjoyed reading, but with the busy semester I had last fall and everything going on lately, the last book I can actually say I read was ‘The Kite Runner’, which I definitely recommend. It’s a slow read and something I normally wouldn’t have been interested in had my aunt not insisted I read it. Since today is my day off, I may have to go to the library and check it out today so I actually have something worthwhile to contribute to the discussion
