http://bloggingthecanon.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
A middle-aged non-English major wrestles with the classics. Monday, June 30, 2008. Book #14 - Kim (Rudyard Kipling). I'm about 60 pages into the book. I've never read any Kipling before.never even saw the movie version of "The Jungle Book". I always had this vague conception in my mind that Kipling wrote for kids, probably because of "The Jungle Book" (or wait, was that written by Walt Disney? Tuesday, June 24, 2008. Frankenstein's End (Spoiler Alert, sort of). Has ever gone on a murderous rampage and ki...

Blogging the Canon: Death Comes for the Archbishop (Willa Cather)
http://bloggingthecanon.blogspot.com/2014/12/death-comes-for-archbishop-willa-cather.html
A middle-aged non-English major wrestles with the classics. Sunday, December 14, 2014. Death Comes for the Archbishop (Willa Cather).

Whatever.this is a good book. It is very different from My Antonia. But well worth reading to get a flavor of what it was like out on the frontier of this country 150 years ago....
