Invisible Man: Memento Mori; Memento Videri

For the first time so far, I actually ENJOYED writing the perfunctory 320-worrd essay for class this week. In part, this was because Invisible Man was a wild book to read, full of surprises, hilarious and horrifying at the same time - and I had never read it before! Most of all, though, it was because I invented a new Latin proverb to go with the essay... Memento videri ... :-)

I've published the essay over at my writing portfolio: The Invisible Man: Memento Mori; Memento Videri.

Island of Doctor Moreau (Audible.com)

I am REALLY enjoying the Audible.com recording for H.G. Wells' Island of Doctor Moreau. The reader, Alan Munro, is very good, and Wells' vivid, very visual style of writing lends itself to a good listening experience. There is also a recording of the book at LibriVox!
