"Unbound" by Lluvia

Learn vocabulary,
but learn the genre -
Dewey decimal system,
i.e.
that section of the library -
Books right next door
to each other,
Researchers reference
each other,
Authors give praise
to each other,
Reviewers critique
their brothers.
Know your authors'
audiences;
They will write to appeal
to their particular audiences.
Know yourself,
the books you like,
the books you prefer;
Test your books
by reading the first page,
even the first chapter,
and compare it to others
in the genre/section.
If you like it,
you should know quickly,
but remember which page
you were on...
If you don't like it,
don't force yourself
to read it.
Literature
is to be enjoyed.

Stuff That Would Bore My Sisters

I spent two hours yesterday chopping up plums and boiling them for the juice to make jelly. Chopping up plums is a good way to relieve stress, you know, and to relieve boredom. Since I don't have a job, I have a lot more time to make jelly, read, watch movies... Perhaps some of us should get together to watch a movie and then talk about it over salsa or cheese dip!
