Brown and Breakfast at Tiffany's

I just came back from the Brown debate tournament, where I debated with Marty Roth. It was definitely fun, although Marty and I didn't break (we went 4-1 but were screwed over immensely by speaker points). I also got to see Rebecca again, which is always a good thing.

In reading news, I recently read Roger Zelazny's short story, "For A Breath I Tarry." I may or may not write a review of that—it's small enough that even if you won't like it, it doesn't waste too much of your life. But, rather than continuing with Zelazny's Lord of Light, I've decided instead to focus on Truman Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's, a short novel that's very famous and (supposedly) very good. It's so short that I'll probably have a review of it up in a few days. As for A Suitable Boy—man, that book scares me more and more the more I look at it. I actually read a few pages of it already, and for some reason it reminds me very strongly of Jane Austen. Hopefully that will prove to be a good thing.

And, contrary to what I said yesterday, I am indeed here for this site's two-month anniversary. So, happy two-month-day, site! The flip side of this is that I've also been at school for two months and have accomplished...very little. Congratulations, Steven. Sigh.
