Hey all,
Excited to start Alice this evening and wondering if there's any chance we'll get past the preface poem. Anyway, I was thinking about the class and wondering if we'd discuss a movie adaptation, like we've done for some books in the past, like the Disney animated one (hopefully not the IMO dreadful Tim Burton movie). But then I thought maybe we could watch the Matrix, or listen to Jefferson Airplane or Tom Petty.
Anyway, I was reading chapter one and this line struck me:
"she remembered trying to box her own ears for having cheated herself in a game of croquet she was playing against herself, for this curious child was very fond of pretending to be two people."
Is it just me, or does that make anyone else think of the "I want you to hit me as hard as you can" scene from Fight Club?
Anyone have any other less obvious cultural ties to Alice?
Bruce
