I've broken continuity. Returning from Boston (sweet merciful crap, I love that place), I had a internet free Spring Break, and returning to school, I had a spare time free week of work. Now, I return, with a list of books that should be purchased and immediately sent to me, as well as a link to a short article about one of my very favorite books of all time: Erasmus' The Praise of Folly, and a link to an article about John Steinbeck that hurt my feelings (but don't worry because I have two).
Books I want to read:
Nothing to be Frightened Of
Julian Barnes
Ruminations on death
Sputnik Caledonia
Andrew Crumey
Strange dystopian literature
This Secret Garden: Oxford Revisited
