Plague
Strange how the lens we see through at any given time alters our perception. I seem to find plague references everywhere right now, so I've posted a few quotes on my website. This is the third of a Coronavirus series (the first two were poems--just thoughts to capture this crazy time we are living through).

Kathleen
is starting The Flight of the Wild Gander: I love Joseph Campbell, and recall devouring The Hero With A Thousand Faces, though it was quite an in-depth study. This one, however, is just too difficult for me right now. It is very academic, and would require much side-research on my part to fill in my lack of knowledge, and I am just not up for that right now.
I don't recommend this as a first Campbell! He can be so accessible in some of his other books.

Sara's status update
Sara
is 46% done with David Copperfield: Perhaps the best way to read Dickens is one chapter a day. This has been such an enjoyable read and I have wanted to read more but have resisted.

Milena
is 41% done with David Copperfield: It’s in vain, Trot, to recall the past, unless it works some influence upon the present.
