Bands, Books, and Psychoanalytic Fangirling

It's called Flyleaf. Ever heard of it? It's amazing. I'm listening to it right now. It's got the awesome complex melodies of Evanescence but the emotional background of Skillet. The best of both worlds. - sigh -
Anyway, on another note, this semester of school, I'm reading the following books, and I am SO excited. Like abnormally excited.
I'm reading:

• The Prince by Macchiavelli (rants will ensue)
• The Imitation of Christ by Thomas á Kempis (yayyyy)
• Beowulf (with commentary and notes by J.R.R. Tolkien) - very happy about this one -
• The Odyssey by Homer (also happy about this one)
• The Canterbury Tales

HAPPINESS!!!
I'm also doing pre-preparation for NaNo (ahahaha writer terms).
I'm doing an essay on Rodyon Raskolnikov's mental state for school, as well.
For those who don't know who Rodyon Raskolnikov is, he's the main character from Crime and Punishment.
Ooh I shouldn't have mentioned that now I'm going to rant
Anyway... Rodyon's pretty messed up. But he's a fascinating character to psychoanalyze. So I'm doing that.
(he's not someone you'd like to meet in a dark alley)
(on the way to a certain pawnbroker's)
(especially not if you perceive that you see an axe in his coat)
(then point that out to him)
(and consequently get that axe stuck in your head)
(yeah)
It's a dark book.
