I met up with Prof Jonathan Culler and Prof Sandra Gilbert, two scholars who I respect much.One for making structuralism/post-structuralism less painful for me, the other for her brilliant insights on women writers (Prof Sandra Gilbert is a very energetic, quick-witted and kind person.I sat in her class this week.Didn't feel the time cos I enjoyed listening to her and her students' discussions)
Started reading Barack Obama's The Audacity of Hope.Can he write! Politics to him, is a full-contact sport (must meet/talk to/listen to the people one wants to represent) Wasn't Blair like this too at the start of his career?
Sen. Dennis Kucinich SHOULD be the next US President! :)
