UD is...
"Salty." (Scott McLemee)
"Unvarnished." (Phi Beta Cons)
"Splendidly splenetic." (Culture Industry)
"Except for University Diaries, most academic blogs are tedious."
(Rate Your Students)
"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

Le Culte du Moi...

...is a student-run literary magazine at UD's place of business, George Washington University. On Friday, October 6, the editors are planning a marathon reading of Lolita, to be held in University Yard (the main quad):


Although it is hard to predict the precise end time, we estimate that it will last around 12 hours and end at approximately 10pm. The marathon
reading will take place at GWU's University Yard, except in case of inclement weather. The rain location is Marvin Center 405. Feel free to stop by during any part of the day to soak up the sounds of good literature and absorb the marathon experience. If you're curious about any more information or if you're interested in reading, e-mail us at [email protected].




I like the idea of this thing, and the way they're promoting it, with purple lollipops in the faculty mailboxes.
