Clio Speaks
Your One Stop Shop For Bad Grammer!
Gah! This has been going around LJ for a few weeks now. I wasn't going to do it. I really wasn't. All it is is a bragging waste of time, a "look at me! I'm so smart." meme. Of course, I can't resist. Especially now that amalah has given it a go and lent it some bloggers cred. Please feel free to skip this entire entry. Diaryland doesn't let me do that nifty cut/ reveal thing or I wouldn't have taken up your screen space.You bold the ones you've read, obviously enough. I've seen versions where it says to add some to the bottom, so I took the liberty of adding a few to mine (how could Hamlet not be on there?) I couldn't resist adding some editorial comments where my feelings about a particular work were quite strong. I'm feeling quite well read right now. That's what happens when you're mother is a librarian, I suppose. ************ 1. The Lord of the Rings, JRR Tolkien

The Many And Scary Ways They Get Here
Quote of the Day
"They have lots of disturbing cross sections of animal reproductive organs"
Worried by
The fact that I just walked upstairs and saw one of my new housemates standing on her desk chair slowly revolving in circles for no apparent reason.
