Amy Schneider Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

I only know about Burke and Hare thanks to Kate Beaton's "Hark, A Vagrant", a must have for anyone who likes reading, history, and jokes

My mom read The Secret Garden (also by Frances Hodgson Burnett) as a child, she loved the way it described the spring growth as a "green haze" in the garden

I'd specifically gone over Sinclair Lewis ( to distinguish Sinclair Lewis and Upton Sinclair, I used the mnemonic "Upton caused an uproar" with The Jungle), but couldn't quite match him to Arrowsmith. In my head that was an Updike novel, but Updike had already showed up

When Kenneth Branagh released his unabridged, four hours long film adaptation of Hamlet, me and Ben (from the Debate Club!) saw it in theaters *six times*. Which means that 1) we were some unusual teenagers, and 2) this Daily Double was immediately obvious to me!

I just googled it, and realized that the reason I said "dragon" for "krait" was that Star Wars mentions "krayt dragons" at some point. Curse you, George Lucas! Kraits are snakes!

My tattoo is indeed of Ozma of Oz. For those who don't know, L. Frank Baum wrote many sequels to The Wizard of Oz, and in all of them the ruler of Oz was Princess Ozma. She had been the rightful heir, but was kidnapped as a baby by a sorceress, who enchanted her to become a boy.

I wouldn't say I have a deep knowledge of philosophy, but I do enjoy it. I haven't read What Is It Like To Be A Bat, but it's referenced in Daniel Dennett's Consciousness Explained, a book I enjoy reading while getting into arguments with the author in my head (I always win lol)
