Start with Fitzgerald

Fragments of dreams...

June13 I am in a large ?classroom (science, i think) with many former classmates and co-workers. Maybe it's the cafeteria because there are long tables with attached benches. Each of the tables has some houseplants in pots lined up and running down the center of the tables. There are many flying insects in the room and i am concerned that the other people may want to harm the creatures even though they're not dangerous or causing any problems. I see a beautiful blue-green dragonfly on a leaf. I straighten out my arm towards the creature and it flies to me and perches on my outstretched arm. It's a tiny dragon with delicate wings and long graceful neck. Truly a flying dragon. I keep it safe with me and the other people in the room are, at the same time, looking at me like i'm an oddity and admiring the tiny dragon. I'm hoping that their attitude towards all the other insects will change when they see they are harmless and beautiful in their own way.



June14 I'm blogging on facebook and am writing about the plan i've come up with to read my books in groups by authors and as i finish each group, i can give those books away. The though being that i'll read each book one more time and will probably not feel the need to ever read them again. I've decided to begin with my Fitzgerald collection. The Great Gatsby, This Side of Paradise, Tender Is the Night, The Last Tycoon are in the set. In my mind i have decided to read Tender Is the Night last because that's my favorite of F. Scott's writings. With a sinking feeling i realize that after Fitzgerald i will need to read my Dickens collection (David Copperfield, Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, A Tale of Two Cities) and wonder how i'll ever get through with reading all my books because Dickens books aren't easy reads and after those would be the Bronte's (Charlotte,Anne, and Emily) with Wuthering Heights being among my favorites and a very difficult book to read because of the dialects of the characters. But that's my plan and i will read and give away until my book collection is manageable.

I notice there's a post AFTER the one i'm writing that's already on my Facebook and i can't understand how that can be. I look at that entry and the date is well into the future - the year is 23xx (2388?) and i'm debating on whether to delete that posting or fix the date. I begin to read what was posted to help me decide and come to the conclusion that i'll leave it as is.
