Busy Busy Busy

Obviously I've not been able to do much blogging lately. That's an unfortunate consequence of having to play catch up on the last 6 weeks of Federal Court, Tax, and Constitutional History. How did I get so behind this semester? I certainly don't have last semester's reasonable excuse of interviewing. As best I can figure, it has been a combination of spending lots of time with my girlfriend, bothering people in Scott Commons and the Law Review offices, watching a few dozen movies (God Bless Netflix's five at a time plan!), and reading, well, several books:

Failure is Not an Option - Kranz
The Last Picture Show - McMurtry
Everything is Illuminated - Foer
The Death of Sweet Mister - Woodrell
Plays - Chekhov
Nip the Buds, Shoot the Kids - Oe
The Shipping News - Proulx
The Vendor of Sweets - Narayan
Lord of the Rings - Tolkien
Summer of '49 - Halberstam
Arms and the Man - Shaw
Heart of Darkness - Conrad
The Secret Agent - Conrad
How to Be Good - Hornby
Neuromancer - Gibson
Big Fish - Wallace
The Staircase of a Thousand Steps - Hamilton
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer - Twain
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - Twain
Mysteries of Pittsburgh - Chabon
A Model World - Chabon
Werewolves in Their Youth - Chabon
Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay - Chabon
A Good Life - Bradlee

Not bad for one semester, and I ought to get through at least Meditations before I'm done here. Of course, in the next four weeks I'm going to study for and take four final exams, do a week-long citecheck, pack up and move out of this apartment, drive to DC, and start work at a firm. So it's going to be busy for a while. I'll try to blog here and there, but the only thing I can promise is a prospective summer reading list. I do, after all, have to choose which books to bring with me to DC.
