my reading list

so usually I read a lot while I am down here but I haven´t had too much time so far. I also had Josh email me my fall syllabus and reading list so I can work on my syllabus while here.

Melissa had given me some magazines and I finally had time to read them, and I liked The Week (which is a summary of news) and Details. This is funny, because one of the students asked me if Details is a gay magazine and I didn´t know the answer! I think it´s a metrosexual magazine so it has a lot of gay articles or they bring up gayness in about every other article. Note that Tom Cruise is on the cover this month. I also bought myself the International edition of Newsweek, which I always enjoy because it has a lot of different world-centered articles in it (a lot on Africa this week).

I also read The Birth of Venus which my mother had given me in San Antonio, and I didn´t really like it (but Kara probably would). I am reading Fast Food Nation right now and it´s really good. Today I will probably go to Dante´s to buy a trashy novel in English in case I am stuck for a day in my room to read it by Jesus-candlelight. I have also been buying El Diario de Yucatan as many of you know that I am a newspaper freak. Yes, it´s in Spanish. I have previously bought the English Miami Herald edition for this part of the world but haven´t gotten one this year.
