*September 18

JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "Hello, I Love You," "Love Her Madly" & "Love Me Two Times" by The Doors]

Bukowski's "Laughing Heart" communicates abstract, complicated ideas (inspiration, risk, independence, fulfillment, the meaning of life) in just a few lines.  How is it possible for something this short to convey as much meaning as a 700-page novel?

AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. "Laughing Heart"
3. Vocab
4. CFA

    You only have homework if you haven't yet picked an American novel yet, and explained why, and posted the title/author/reason to your blog-- wait, hang on a minute. I'll just open another tab and... yep. You have homework. :)

      The only requirements are: 1. The novel has to be American; 2. The novel has to be at your reading level or above; and (most importantly) 3. You have to want to read it.
