Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
12/11: reading
I often do a little grading while I'm proctoring students' final exams, but it can make me (more than usually) self-conscious to be sitting at the front of the class with my marking pen while students are taking a test that will soon be meeting said marking pen. So after a bit of grading during today's Greek exam I decided to read a novel--John Green's new Turtles All the Way Down--on my iPad instead. And it was good to be thinking a bit about metaphor and the body and the self.
