Glitch and Speedbump

Reading Alice in Wonderland. Yes, life in reverse.
Soon i will read about Brer Rabbit and delve into the 8 o'clock bedtime tales.
(Blytons. sigh. Age 6-9= magic)

No actually our very own Alice was part of the DU II year Eng Lit syllabus.
Part of the Popular Fiction section.
I took Classical. (think Greek Mythology and the Mahabharata. Fabulous stuff)

So i figured 3 years (and counting) into the course... One should be able to 'get' the intricacies of the childrens book without being spoon fed. Right? Right?
So far (page 11) im at sea. Tempted to call up S (who DID take it up) and demand a thorough analysis. But i throttle the urge to punch in the digits and *sigh* open that pdf file once again.
Oh yes, now i'm downloading books.
Don't have the luxury of extra cash to afford otherwise.
(coffee dates over 3 months can take a life threatening toll)

(Finally)Finished Lolita.
Not as dirty and erotic as it started out to be.
Bearable almost.
Okay, good.
The thing is, i was driven to the ultimate desperate measure of plonking it in a place where i Knew that i Would read anything. Anything.
Even the instructions off a facewash cover.

But it didn't work for Mein Kampf.
At least not completely... but i Did get through 150 odd pages of it.
Sigh.
My struggles with literature.
