Welcome to Litsy!

Second hour #readathon reading!

In chapter 11, Kugel presents some interesting arguments that the Dinah story (Joseph of the technicolored dreamcoat's sister) was a later addition to the Jacob/Joseph story. Interesting! #bible

Analyzing the Bible in a literary sense, I am reminded of Marvel's representation of Thor and Loki. Loki is clever and cunning, his brother Thor is is a "dumb jock." What does this motif mean to us that it is recurring? Is there really such a thing as a dumb jock? There must be for the stereotype to be so pervasive-but all the jocks I knew in high school were also on the honor roll. #bible

I'm reading (and loving!) a #textonlycovers book right now. Does that count for a #booktober challenge?
