Sinister: Book reports

[Chris Butler]

Lurkers unite! [ My only weakness is a list of rhymes ]

So what does this have to do with anything?

Very little except that I had my first Belle and
Sebestian dream last night.  I was a student in
a wee-kiddie classroom where all the students were
barnyard animals save me.  Isobel was the teacher
and we were turning in book reports.  I remember
liking very much how she sat on the corner of her
desk in her starched white blouse, oddly wearing
those cat-like glasses common in the late 50's.
It made me wonder whether she was part cat, although
she had no such physical characteristics to mention.

I was so shy that when I went to turn in my book report
that I wasn't able to look her in the face.  I walked
right up to her with my eyes averted (I think down) and
slid my paper on the top of the pile.  All I could think
was that I hoped she would like mine and read it in class
the next day.  I figured if that happened the next time 
I turned in my book report I'd look her straight in the eyes...

Anyway, not much of a wild dream, just more of a spring
daydream so it sent me off to think of faux book report titles
(or perhaps more like theses) that might catch the eyes
of a literary sweetie, hopefully one that was as much
of a nutter as myself.

Some books I've been reading:

- South of the Border, West of the Sun (Murakami)
  * The Self-Erotic Destruction of the Soul : A Deviant Buddhism Explored

- The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle (Murakami)
  * Well or Sewer?  Overlapping Reincarnations of a Japanese Neo-Hippie

- Master and Margerita (Bulgakov)
  * Temporally Challenged: Soliloquoy of a Fork-Tongued Narcissist

- The Bremen Town Musicians (Grimm)
  * Dog, Rooster, Cat, Ass:  A Knickerless Pilgrimmage Unravelled
