Task #11

The Book Report Network I found to be rather uninspired. It could be handy for the mentioned reason of the an author's bibliography, but eh. I'm lukewarm to the website web o' sites.

I learned that in the olive tree next to where Federico Garcia Lorca was shot people often carve quotes from his poetry and plays. This makes me sad for several reasons. One, fascists killing artists is always sad and so are reminders of such actions. Two, that poor tree, hasn't it seen and suffered enough already? And three, why are these people living vicariously through the memory of a not quite martyred poet from the 1910's? Go home and do something constructive.
