John Green on the Death of An Author!!

 

This is an interesting video! It's different than I thought it would be. John Green "considers the role of authorial intention and biography in novels, and whether the author can ever be exorcised from the novel, in the context of Roland Barthes' famous 1967 essay 'The Death of the Author.'"

Are Textbooks Obsolete? Food For Thought!

I've never really thought about whether textbooks are obsolete or not before now. John Green's recent YouTube video about textbooks was really interesting. There's definitely some food for thought!

John Green's Life's Library Book Club ~ Inaugural Book Box Unveiling!!

I joined author, John Green’s Life’s Library Book 📖 Club! The inaugural package arrived in our mailbox yesterday evening. Included in the package is the first novel to be read (If You Come Softly by Jacqueline Woodson), a letter from John Green, postcards, stickers, and bookplates.... However, the lapel pin is missing from the package!! I'll have to call them later today and let them know it was missing from the package I received in the mail.

I look forward to reading If You Come Softly by Jacqueline Woodson and discussing it with other book club members.

Until my next post, happy reading!!
