Hollis' Visit

Hollis was home this weekend. He came over and we watched the Ole Miss football game. I was interested in how he was doing at school and he said he was doing okay except one of his classes, English Literature, took up a lot of his time because the professor, a man named James Q. Wilkes (Hollis always refers to him with his full name), had given them a long list of required reading. The way this guy works is there is no actual number of books you are required to read, but at the end of the term you will be graded on several things one of which is the number of books and more importantly your understanding of subject matter. Hollis says some of the reading is tedious but rewarding. Hollis has an advantage over me in that he loves to read, me not so much. I mean I enjoy a good western every now and then. Hollis had one of his books with him and I opened it and read a few lines. Glad I'm sitting here in Harper and not up at the university.
