Just thought I would say hi! I guess a brief introduction. I am Nicole, Nicci for short. I am an expat now in Sweden. After years of putting off college to travel and be a true Gen Xer, and I do mean years, I decided to go back. I am majoring in English Studies and International Migration/Ethnic Relations(IMER). My concentration will probably be literature (in particular, satire or gothic horror) focusing on the 1700s-1900s. I minored in IMER strictly for the colonialism aspect of the courses. Since I just started getting back into reading classic literature, I am behind most of the people in my class and find myself buying tons of books, which is never a bad thing.
Any help in finding good satire, in particular political satire, from the 1700s-1900s would be of great help. I have books by Swift(of course). I am also interested in good Gothic Horror. I know the usuals (and the Penny Dreads), but any lesser known authors.
Now the important stuff: I like photography and take tons of pictures. I like music--most heavy metal. Been with my boyfriend for 8 years. I play the flute, trumpet, sax, french horn and oboe. Pierced, tatted, opinionated. oye....don't know what else.
