If the readings weren't mandatory, then I wouldn't have even read any of my textbooks. The book is about dreams, so I see the connection between the book's concept and the cover art. I have already mentioned Pastoral in a previous post and it was literally called, "Book Chats: Pastoral". On a final note, I should hopefully be done with Pastoral soon so that I'll be able to share my first impressions on Fifteen Dogs in next week's post.

Currently, I am living in a college dorm and taking two college classes. As you could tell, I haven't blogged for a week which you could thank college life for the interruption (insert laughter). Before I talk about a few post ideas I have in mind, you all should know that I have a special post coming up next week (be ready for that)! Here's a few other blog post ideas I have in mind:

But things aren't so idyllic for Liz Denny, whose fiancé doesn't want to have to choose between Liz and his more worldly lover Jane. or for Father Pennant himself, whose faith is profoundly shaken by three 'miracles' he witnesses: a man walking on water, trained gypsy moths and a talking sheep," and it continues, "In this surprising and delightful new novel, the award winning André Alexis tackles fundamental questions of love and faith by bringing a modern sensibility and a new liveliness to an age-old genre, the pastoral." You could tell by the description when Liz's fiancé can't pick between being faithful to her or being faithful to his feelings about another woman. If you haven't check out yesterday's post, then here's the link to Summer Edition: Spring Cleaning.

While cleaning, I realized that I could share some useful tips I've learned from my previous clean out sessions. It's true that another person's trash is another person's treasure unless they really worn out the item itself. It would be best to do little tasks like these at the end to signify that you are finished cleaning. It's best to be a little organized even through you're creating a mess to get rid of unnecessary clutter.
