Little Dorrit and loving it!

And so I return to the blogosohere having been waylaid by the hills and valleys of life over the past 2 months. But alas I have accomplished much for one with no required grindstone to be ever pressing her nose against. As the reality of throwing myself back into school dances closer and closer I have decided the lump of oatmeal I call my brain requires a bit of structure as well as mental exertion in preparation for the great return. That is how I decided to read, "Little Dorrit," by Mr Dickens. Usually, my great big lump of grey matter will enjoy the theatrical represenations offered by Masterpiece Theater and then proclaim "Oh how I love Dickens!" What a master illusionist I have allowed my brain to become in melding literature and theatrical to blur into one, thus having absorbed the movie believeing myself to have truly experienced Dickens. Catching myself in this illogical paradigm I have put aside the carrot and stick for later consumption and have decided to read the novel before allowing myself to watch the PBS series. And I must say thus far I have not missed the carrot.
