Welcome to Litsy!

I feel this to my very core… I just need to make it to Friday and then I can enjoy 9 days off!! #teachersoflitsy

I‘ve collected U.S. stamps for almost thirty years now. This is my first foreign addition to my collection 😊🇨🇦💌

In Death by Nature, something in the natural environment murders the individual, though the author—who is of course the real guilty party, since it is he who has arranged the murder—often disguises the foul deed to make it look like an accident.

“The study of Canadian literature ought to be comparative, as should the study of any literature; it is by contrast that distinctive patterns show up most strongly. To know ourselves, we must know our own literature; to know ourselves accurately, we need to know it as part of literature as a whole.”

I liked this a fair bit, especially Atwood's discussion of poetry. She made it accessible for me :) This was published in 1972, though, so among other things it does not have much about Indigenous literature. Fortunately we have a lot more of that to explore today!

I actually had to return this to the library unfinished, but I am back in the queue and will finish it off later.

#CYOReadathon Day 2: 1 h 55 mins. Listened to a disc of Paths of Glory and made more headway in Survival. Probably going to be finishing this later in the year!
Also still reading serials of course.

Happy #CanadaDay to all Canadian Littens! This is an Atwood I‘ve yet to read, but it sounds fascinating. #flyhighJuly @Eggs
