Just moved from Miami & have started a Ph.D. program in English. In my spare time, I like to read horribly written & incredibly predictable novels (and watch Buffy. Or South Park. Whatever!).

Recommendations (whether good, trashy, or likely to be required at the point in the not-so-distant future) are always welcome. more »

    my elizabeth costume actually worked out quite well. i added a neck ruffle on halloween night and a feather in my hair and i think it added the right touch. hehe. too bad your Sin didn't work out, i would think it would be kinda difficult. as for my dissertation focus, i think i want to focus on fiction and poetry. thus far i have read and like edna o'brien, eavan boland, and lately, been reading paula meehan's poetry which i really dig. i've been meaning to read emma donoghue! i really sould. what sort of sub-areas are you interested in?

    Hey there. I go to UM. Did you do your undergrad here? I just completed the MA and now doing the PhD. Altough I have early modern books (side interest) my focus is on Irish Lit (just look at all the Beckett and Joyce I have. hehe) My dissertation is going to focus on 20th century/contemporary Irish women writers. I think I might focus it on issues of trauma and emigration related to the troubles in NI. not sure yet. But, I do like early modern, esp. Elizabeth. In fact, my halloween costume is the Virgin Queen herself. haha. i even got white face powder.
