Did I mention vacation?

I'm leaving for vacation today, so no posts until Tuesday the 9th.

I didn't post all weekend. New heights of irresponsibility, here. I'd claim patriotism, but since I'm immersing myself in literature on this blog, we all know that's not the case.

Monday will see things right again.

Tune in next week!

Here begins an official hiatus through next Tuesday. It's time for your faithful literary correspondent to take a vacation, and frankly, she can't be bothered with Henry James when she is on holiday. Reading 19th-century literature just doesn't fit under the heading of recreation, friends.

But fear not, for said correspondent will return on Wednesday the 29th to regale you with sarcastic commentary and an overabundance of parentheses. This is your literary blogger, signing off.

Hail to the chief

I didn't read. In, ah, honor of the presidents?

I have no real excuse.
