For this week, i am still reading "Waiting for Godot" by Samuel Beckett
The book is amazingly weird, and i have no idea what is going on.
Supposedly, they are stuck in this certain place (the sewer i believe) and they start talking trash to each other, names like moron, vermin, abortion, morpion, sewer-rat, curate, cretin, and crrtic,i have no idea what crrtic means. This the current quote i read, not really a quote but, it's a play, with short lines.
Estragon: Our movements.
Vladimir: Our elevations.
Estragon: Our relaxations.
Vladimir: Our elongtations.
Estragon: Ourrelaxtations.
Vladimir: To warm us up.
Estragon: To calm us down.
Vladimir: Off we go.

Reading Journal (Waiting for Godot)
This week i read a part from the book "Waiting for Godot" by Samuel Beckett.
I read during the part where they meet this one boy, they believe the boy is a messenger, and so after a little chat, Vladimir, tell's the boy to tell Godot "The man they are waiting for" that they are still waiting for him. Even though in this book, the two main characters haven't even seen Godot even once, so i am still confused on this part. The two main characters also talk about committing suicide. The author tries to give the characters a complicated yet passionate reason for killing themselves. It's a weird book so i don't know how to explain it.
Quote: Astride of a grave and a difficult birth. Down in the hole, lingeringly, the grave-digger puts on the forceps. We have time to grow old. The air is full of our cries. But habit is a great deadener." - Waiting for Godot, Samuel Beckett

Reading Journal (May 2, 2009)
Today me, Josh, and Aaron read a part of the book "Waiting for Godot"
In this part, it starts out with two friends. Vladimir, and Estargo. They just talk about random topics that lead to many things. In some parts, i believe the main characters are gay. The book also has many profanities.
