First Week Back

Wow, the first week back was more than hectic! Three kids and the stomach virus to begin the school year. Always exciting at my house. So, this is actually the first time I've read Joyce if you can believe it. I have to say I am not instantly thrilled with him. I know he is respected as a great writer and I can see his gift, but as for my taste I think I will not end up considering him one of my favorites. I like British writers but there is always a certain amount of disconnect I feel for them. I think this will be a fun 8 weeks, and I may like him more as we go along. I might try to find some other things of his that are not on the syllabus and read them. Hope everyone is off to a great start!
