revieloutionneYou know you've sunk to new levels of academia when you use a book as a bookmark.
(To be fair, the bookmark book is a collection of short stories, and the book it's keeping place in a book interpreting those stories as a whole and making note of the thematic through-lines that aren't necessarily evident and generally commenting on them. I've been reading back-and-forth so that the commentary comes on the heels of each story.)
(Also: if all you've ever read of Shirley Jackson is the short-story The Lottery and/or The Haunting of Hill House, you should pick up the short-story-collection The Lottery: Adventures of the Daemon Lover, though it apparently [and sadly] has lost the subtitle in recent reprintings.)
