What a wonderful idea - learning 100 poems in a year. Nick Seddon at the Guardian book blog lists his choices and asks readers for recommendations. Just the other day, I was thinking that learning by rote had its benefits - kids don't forget much. And I remember most of the poems we were made to learn "by heart" in school (sonnet 116 was particularly fascinating to me, don't know why).
I am going to use this idea and make my own list to memorize. Let me see what I come up with.

About me
- I'm Echo/Lavanya
- From Chennai, India
- So, we are curious now? My folks named me Lavanya, and it does have a meaning. I named myself Echo, for this blog. And that has a meaning too. Therefore, I have more than one name; I can walk; I can talk; I can read; I can even write; I can count - 9 'I's already and that is absolutely disgusting; I can also lie about numbers. Do you need to hear more?
