Outside Reading #24

I started Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and it is really good. It is absolute nonsense, but it is so witty and just flat out funny that I can't stop reading it. I love the ways in which it plays with words to make fun of the flaws in the English language. I also love how it jests at English manors and schooling. I just read the chapter A Mad Tea Party and it is one of my favorite chapters of any book I have ever read. The madness of the party participants being stuck at the tea party is absolutely wild, but at the same time incredibly fascinating.
