It all works out

I was just commenting somewhere that I would be adding Zola to my reading list--and what do you know!  His book The Ladies' Paradise is one of my "required" books for the 19th-century European history class I'm taking this fall.  Timely, I'd say. 

I don't know if we'll be reading the whole book or not.  As it is 480 pages, I feel it would be better for me to start immediately and err on the side of caution.

My other history class--20th-century Britain--involves a book called Writing in History.  This should be interesting!

Third class is a newbie programming class.  I'm kind of glad to start at "level 1"; it should keep everything fresh in my mind for the next two years. 

School (quarterly schedule) doesn't start up again until the 24th.  In the meantime, I'll be battling Kindle formatting and finishing 20,000 Leagues and (hopefully) reading Robinson Crusoe.  And starting Ladies' Paradise, whatever that entails.  O_o
