finish my dissertation (read all 10 entries…)
I made good progress today 2 years ago

I read a Theodore Dreiser short story, a Stephen Crane novella, and 100 pages of Foucault. In the case of the Dreiser story, I had been looking for it for about 3 months and a new girl in my department found it for me. Even better, it’s going to be as helpful to the chapter I’m working on as I thought it was. The Crane book was interesting, but mostly unhelpful. As for Foucault, I’m using four of his books as the theoretical framework for the whole project. I know 100 pages doesn’t seem like a lot, but that’s about all I think most people can take of him in a single sitting. I wish I read French well enough to read him in the original, but Fanon is about as high as my French reading skills get. So, all in all about 200 pages read today, that’s acceptable for a Sunday. Now, I just need to finish this Foucault book tomorrow night and keep the progress going.
