Onto new things

So am I sort of cheating by doing this? I finished The Plague by Camus on Tuesday and it was a wonderful book. Vastly different from The Stranger, it explored characters who were slightly easier to relate to while still raising valid philosophical points that I found interesting. The ending was a little less eventful than I had hoped, but I realize that the ending was done as such for a valid reason, and helped to point out the impartial nature of disease and such events in general.

I have started two books now, simultaneously. The next book I was going to read was simply going to be The Lice by W.S. Merwin, a book of poetry that I had started in the past but never finished. However, I have realized that firmly reading and digesting all these poems in just one week would not do justice to the reading, so I added a more scientific book, "The Sexual Spectrum" to my reading for the week, and I'm going to attempt to finish both within two weeks. I may finish one of the two books before the 27th, in which case I'll post my review on here then. In any case, I'll be back!
