What I'll share with you...

I like sharing the links that I find. It helps people with the same interests save some time...provided they find this place.

One Zero Zero Virtual Library
http://www.ccca.ca/history/ozz/english/books/rising_fire/rising_title.html
Some poems by Gwendolyn MacEwen, there's quite a number of them on the site, but it does not offer anything to go with them. So, if you're looking for notes, search up the same name on my blog and you'll find a previous entry with her links there.

I also tried copy-pasting the poems (as the site is really, really unattractive, huh?) but it all came out as jumble.


Also my school library has finally bought us kids some new books. Three of them were reccommended by me. Well, that's my legacy to them (yeah, the school's been trying to squeeze more and more and more money out of us of late for all kinds of nonsense that nobody even needs (eg. an arts conservatory for the silly dancing club and dopey school band; a Performing arts theatre before that, meant for the same bunch of noise-making folks, but which turned out to be too small, so...nobody uses it!). The three titles are:

1) A Dead Man in Deptford Anthony Burgess
2) The Memoirs of Hadrian Margeurite Yourcenar
3) Austerlitz* W. G. Sebald

*Not exactly what I reccommended, but by the same author. I had asked for After nature, but I guess they couldn't find it.

But, in addition to buying those three wonderful books (which I cannot borrow now as I shall be leaving the school soon), the school also bought a whole load of rubbish like the "Princess Diaries" series by Meg Cabot (it's more like "Royal Bastard" really, if you know the story) and other books which likely read the smae but just have different covers and which are purportedly written by different people.
