217922 yeah, that would be great if you could lend me nine stories. I am all about reading short fiction while in school. Delving into a full novel when I am already reading two for school is too much for me...(i know...make fun of me)

217922 yeah my Danish teachers name is Peter Fogtdal. He has published 12 novels but the first one to be translated in english is "The Tsar's Dwarf" which comes out in December I believe. He wrote it in French and won the French equivalent to the nobel prize for literature for writing it.
He is a super easy instructor because he doesnt even have a doctorate. (or even a masters? i dunno)

We watched "Life of Brian" yesterday in class...what more could I ask for?
