How I'm going to read Huckleberry Finn novel (or attempt to at least)

Our eBook is published! Here is a possible website we can use as home base.

"Anon was, as Virginia Woolf noted in one of her final unpublished essays, "the voice that broke the silence of the forest". Elsewhere she suggested that "Anonymous was a woman". For anonymity has definitely been widely used by women throughout the ages, whether they're writing about relationships, sex or anything else. Without Anonymous, there are so many classics we would not have had - Gawain and the Green Knight, virtually all of the Bible and other religious texts. Anon is allowed a greater creative freedom than a named writer is, greater political influence than a common man can ever attain, and far more longevity than we would guess. Obviously, I'm a great fan of Anon's work, but then, as a formerly anonymous author, I would say that, wouldn't I?"

I haven't been through this yet, but there are clear connection with Rainbows End, and it sounds interesting.

"Scientists find secret to writing a best-selling novel Computer scientists have developed an algorithm which can predict with 84 per cent accuracy whether a book will be a commercial success - and the secret is to avoid cliches and excessive use of verbs"

A `Bad Writer' Bites Back By JUDITH BUTLER

This article talks about the effects that the Internet is having on English professors and researchers. It mentions the increased research and publishing possibilities, the opportunities provided by email, and the opinions of academics - many of whom were reluctant to accept these new technologies as equal to traditional methods.

Hopefully the link works - I'm not sure since it's a download of the pdf.

Since blogger is struggling a wee bit today, I thought I'd do my post for this class over here at my regular blog. I put quite a bit of work into this post so check it out. :) 

While researching blogs on James Joyce I ran across this challenge. To help our reading habits and turning back to the classics. I thought it was a great idea. By joining it makes one more accountable to what one reads.

More ways to join others online with the reading experience.

research on the web that I found THRU my library research. 

A digital copy of the book I am reading!

I guess I can read this in the digital format too (if I wanted)

A little video from the very last scene of The Dead.

I am not sure if anyone has read The Dead. I have several times and I had no idea that there was a video until Dr Burton mentioned it to me. I found this on youtube and couldn't help but marvel how different this last scene was watching it instead of reading it.

An interesting blog I found that talks about the changing times and the importance of technology in learning

I love how everything connects now! Today we had the discussion on eBooks. I didn't even really know what they were, and then I find a site about free eBooks and I get all excited because I know what they are now!

The word is that "Snooki" from the crappy tv show "Jersey Shore" got paid more money to speak at Rutgers than the nobel prize winner Toni Morrison did for the university's commencement. This angers me, I'm not gonna lie

yeah...that's kind of disturbing...

So I was searching for some blogs about James Joyce and I came across this man's blog, Mel. Talk about being a prolific reader and writer. He reads short stories all the time and posts about each one. I think it is interesting that he started his blog not really think many would read it and now he has almost 500 followers.

I just got called to speak in church on Sunday about "my family's good name." I found this talk, but any other ideas would be helpful---I just don't know what to do with it!
