truepennyTIME: 25 min.
DISTANCE 3 mi.
TOTAL: 43.4 mi.
NOTES: Shin splints. Ow, goddammit.
SHIRE-RECKONING: We've met up with the Elves. Tra la la lally.
Wells. Again.
Not that I have anything against Wells, but spending two separate lectures on him seems a bit much. Especially when the only women who are focused on are Woolf, Shelley, and Le Guin (yes, we're all shocked), and there is no lecture devoted to the works of a person of color. I understand that he talks about Delany (presumably in the "Cyberpunk, Postmodernism, and Beyond" lecture), but honestly--you could spend THREE lectures on Delany and not be done. Plus there's Octavia Butler and Toni Morrison and . . .
I should note, btw, that I'm not surprised by this distribution. Not at all. Just, you know, kind of sad.
