Last night I read Kafka's "The Burrow", which I probably appreciate best beside "The Metamorphosis". Admittedly, I did not entirely understand certain parts, so I suppose I shall plod down to the old Bibliothek for to seek some literary criticism tomorrow afternoon, if I feel secure enough in the revisions I have made to my seminar paper by then. After I finish reading the Kafka stories (I am almost through), I hope to begin the Roman readings book April sent me for Christmas. Its cover is yet very glossy, a quality which I fully intend to destroy before long.
I also read through "Lange Schatten", which I found utterly hilarious and over which I shall probably base my final essay for the course. In a sentence, it is about a teenage schoolgirl who takes a trip with her family to Italy and is flashed by a twelve year-old boy. Sehr lustig.
I ripped memorable pages out of my notebook and glued them onto coloured stock paper yesterday morning, but upon my return to The Lauree Lair early in the evening, the cheap drugstore school glue had not yet dried. I hope it dries before May 2nd.
