The San Jose State University English department has been kind enough to post a list of required readings for English majors. They call it "the guilt list." Indeed.
It's actually quite depressing how many of those titles I have not read. Luckily I have heard of most of them (though there are a number of new titles). And there are a large number I know we read in class, but I can't be sure that I read the entire thing. I know for a fact that we only read certain books of The Illiad, for example. Does that count? I'm not sure.
I really need more time. I need a week to just spend in bed and sleep each hour of everyday until I can sleep no more because I am truly no longer tired. I need another week to finish Gracie's birth announcement (I just dawned on me that she is 1.5 years old now and I really need to get cracking). Then another week, maybe two, to just bum around and take it easy. Work on quilting projects. Work on the geneaology site. Clean my desk at home. Then I'll be ready to come back to work and focus on work projects.
Don't feel bad. My youngest is almost 7 and I am still working on her birth announcement.
