I am such a bookslut.

Okay. Visa interview tomorrow in Boston. I have all the documents ready and such. Hopefully nothing goes terribly wrong this time.

And I've only done 3,000 pages of summer reading so far; you'd think the remaining 4,500+ pages on my shelf would deter me from acquiring more books, but no, I was weak. I found a shiny book all about gender-bending and homoeroticism in the French Romantic literature around 1830 in the Mt Holyoke library catalog. I mean, come on, with a subject that specific how could I ever forgive myself for not checking it out? So I got it over ILL and it'll probably be waiting for me when I get back from Boston.

My original summer reading list:
The Baroque Cycle
- Quicksilver
- The Confusion
- The System of the World
Temeraire
- His Majesty's Dragon
- Throne of Jade
- Black Powder War
- Empire of Ivory (in the middle of it)
- Victory of Eagles
La Comtesse de Rudolstadt
Les sept cordes de la lyre (just started it)
Mademoiselle de Maupin
American Gods
Faust

Added to the list since I got back to Smith:
The Well of Loneliness
The Persian Boy
L'éros romantique
