Nobel Aspirations: September 2010
http://nobelreaders.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Reading through works from Nobel Laureates in Literature year by year. Saturday, September 18, 2010. The Magic of Libraries. Which brings us to The Library. The library has always been one of my favorite places, a magical storehouse of knowledge that I can access for FREE! I searched the University of Minnesota Library and there they both were, in English and on Campus. Fabulous! I love the library. A photo of Echegaray: Winner 1904. Sunday, September 5, 2010. It appears that our project is losing steam&...

Nobel Aspirations: El Gran Galeoto
http://nobelreaders.blogspot.com/2010/10/el-gran-galeoto.html
Reading through works from Nobel Laureates in Literature year by year. Saturday, October 9, 2010. I was surprised when I read "The Great Galeoto" to find that it was about gossip and the detrimental effect that gossip can have on the people about whom it circulates. In our world full of cheating movie stars and scandalous singers and athletes gossip has become ubiquitous. What is so tantalizing about the stories of what goes on in other people's lives? Are reputations and relationships as delicate?

Nobel Aspirations: Fin
http://nobelreaders.blogspot.com/2010/04/fin.html
Reading through works from Nobel Laureates in Literature year by year. Wednesday, April 14, 2010. Done with Mommsen. I read the last ten pages after our meeting because I felt that after such time and effort I couldn't get to the end and not complete the book. It would be like getting a block from the finish line in a marathon and not finishing when you were still capable of running. Lame. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Extensions and Weird Egyptians.

Nobel Aspirations: February 2010
http://nobelreaders.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Reading through works from Nobel Laureates in Literature year by year. Wednesday, February 17, 2010. Mommsen. Our second author. The History of Rome. I wasn't sure I would be able to get my hands on an abridged copy before our next meeting. Amazon only listed 2 available and those were gone before I could get them, ahem. It's o.k though, thankfully I have a spouse in school with access to an excellent academic library containing a copy of the above. Perhaps not, but it was fun. Thursday, February 11, 2010.

Nobel Aspirations: August 2011
http://nobelreaders.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Reading through works from Nobel Laureates in Literature year by year. Friday, August 12, 2011. Two thirds of the Nobel Readers are in Africa! That's so far away. What will I do with myself for the next few weeks without them? Probably drink a little less and sleep a little more. I guess that's okay as long as they both come back safely.

Nobel Aspirations: March 2010
http://nobelreaders.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Reading through works from Nobel Laureates in Literature year by year. Thursday, March 25, 2010. The deadline is looming for Mommsen and I have 300 pages left. I feel like I'm in school again, reading as fast as I can and kind of dreading opening the book. Who are these people and where do they come from? Saturday, March 20, 2010. I like to think that we, as a people, have made progress in the last two thousand years; that we're more diplomatic and less violent. Lately I've been thinking that our progres...
