Things I need to do for my Dissertation

I want to have pretty much done this by Christmas so that I can spend all of the spring term next year correcting and streamlining. There is no way I want to be doing the Dissertation rush.

By the end of Septmeber:

• Re-watch The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Last House On The Left, An American Nightmare and Night of the Living Dead.
• Finish reading The Vietnam War by Mitchell K. Hall, noting down the relevant points.
• Talk to Gregg about where the focus of the study should be.

Ongoing:

Books I need to read -

• The Wounds Of Nations: Horror Cinema, Historical Trauma and National Identity by Linnie Blake
• The Velvet Light Trap - Number 57, Spring 2006, pp. 42-59 Matt Blake
• The Afterlife of America's War in Vietnam: Changing Visions in Politics & Screen by Gordon Arnold
• The Most Savage Film: 'Soldier Blue', Cinematic Violence, and the Horrors of War by P.B. Hurst
• The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Companion by Stefan Jaworzyn
• Men, Women and Chainsaws by Carol J. Clover
• American Dream, Global Nightmare by Ziauddin Sardar & Merryl Wyn Davies

It's all a bit broad still, but I'm going to get as much reading done before I go back so that it will be easier to figure out what I want to focus on.
