Have any of you gone through those stages where you become fascinating with a subject and try to read as much as you can on it? I've gone from dinosaurs to the Titanic to the Bermuda Triangle to the Loch Ness monster and then to Masons. It all started with National Treasure, haha. Later, my mom got me a book on Free Masonry. I remember being on the wait list with Barnes and Noble came out with Dan Brown's Lost Symbol (although I was disappointed with the book and have since moved on from my interest in Masons.) Anyway, I thought it was interesting to see one of my old interests popping up in From Hell.
Any one else go through these odd stages?

Oh and as a journalism major, I am disappointed in The Star writers!!! haha
ReplyDeleteI definitely go through these type of stages! Mine have ranged from Greek mythology, Pirates, to theories about extraterrestrial life. A lot of them also began with National Treasure! One time after randomly watching the movie about Rudyard Kipling's son, starring Daniel Radcliffe I actually did research on Rudyard Kipling and wrote a speech about him for a class.
ReplyDeleteI think these odd stages come from my eagerness to learn new things. Research is always more fun when you are interested in the topic!
I passed through a number of these obsessions, too, plus a few not mentioned: Bigfoot, haunted houses.
ReplyDeleteDid you read that story about these two guys supposedly caught Bigfoot? I can't remember how long ago that was. They supposedly had a scientist come in and examine and confirm, but then it came out it was a huge hoax.. I'll see if I can find a link to that story.
