Gosh my reading list is getting humoungous. I use Amazon a lot to create my reading lists - they have everything whereas, ahem, my library doesn't...
Spent about 40 squids this week on new books for my lit review - ones that I can't live without but the library doesn't have or is in high demand. I hate fines! I was going to go into uni today and get more books but I started working out how to form my lit review yesterday and what I wanted to go into it and have some more of that thinking to do. Is quite satisfying working that kind of thing out - much better than reading dry old articles from academics! I did realise that a part of my PhD that I assumed was an unchanging cornerstone is actually not going to feature that much... the ground is shifting underneath me! It is nice to see it taking shape though and thinkinmg properly about what I am going to write about and why. And what my arguments are going to be! I am quite scared of finally taking a stance, rather than being a bit wishy-washy because I haven't needed to take a firm position on anything. Now I am goign to have to stick my head out and say 'I think this! I don't agree with this!' and that is quite scary.
Anyway, best get on. Gosh my reading list is big.
