Here is a list of some works I've been reading lately:

1. Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw - I really enjoyed reading this play.  I think it's one of the few plays I'd rather read than watch, and I am definitely glad I read it because there are countless allusions and parodies of the play in popular culture that I now understand better.
2. Home by Toni Morrison - I think this novel is one of Toni Morrison's more underrated works.  I fell in love with these characters, and started to draw parallels between the plot and Sir Orfeo, which is a work based on the myth of Eurydice and Orpheus.
3. Occupy by Noam Chomsky - A series of lectures, etc. on the Occupy movement.  A super-good read about the economic events that led up to the class uprising in the United States well-delivered by Noam Chomsky. 
4. Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein - not sure how I feel about this one.  It's supposed to be a satire on jingoism and probably the future of citizenship given a despotic turn, but I can't get into this book just yet.

That's all for now.  In other news, I graduated this week with a bachelor's degree in Honours English!  I'll miss it, but I'll admit, it has left me with an amazing library and a new love for literature that I don't think I could have developed on my own.

Thanks for reading!
