One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

“…one flew east, one flew west, One flew over the cuckoo’s nest.”

…impressive, hmm? While I’d love to say that I randomly knew this folk rhyme that happens to be the epigraph to my “novel of literary merit”, and that’s what led me to choose this book, I’d be lying. I must admit that when we first discussed this assignment, I had no idea what book to do, or even if I knew of any novels that would be appropriate. I got my choice on a suggestion from Kristin, who got it from Zach (yes, Hartley – sorry Kristin, if I’m giving away a secret source here ). Since I had no idea whatsoever what the book was about, I used wikipedia – yes, I know – to read the summary, and decided that it would intrigue me well enough for the months to come. I have not yet begun to read, but I did buy the book – complete with criticism from 5 different people, an excerpt from the play, and more, all of which cost me an extra $9.00 than the other cheap copies. And now that I’ve finally created this blog, I’m off to bed. More later!
