It's her fault

It all my secret pals fault and she doesn't even know it ** (She's working on her Masters/PhD in Comparative Lit at a Midwestern college) In wondering how best to spoil her I did a couple of searches about the authors she'd mentioned reading. It started with Mahfouz who won the Nobel Prize in lit which led me to the Man Brooker Prize which led me to more of Mahfouz, which led me to other Nobel winners which brought me back to my secret pals reading endeavors which brought me to "The Master and the Margarita" and whew here it is a couple of months later and I've got her to blame for my renewed sense of interest and curiosity in literature. Hmmm. . . now how to figure out how to knit and read at the same time***
