Books and links.
No Brandon, I haven't done the meme yet, but I'm working on it. Sort of.
Since we have created this plot to read Le Goff's The Medieval Imagination, I stopped by Borders to see if they had it [a. because of the general immediacy of a book store and b. I currently have a 40% off coupon...I'm so shallow]. For some inexplicable reason, however, they did not. Instead of walking away upon discovering this, as would have been the bright thing to do, I allowed myself to drool over the following three books:
Mysteries of the Middle Ages [which I did not buy for price's sake]
History of the Franks [which I did not buy for the fact that it is amply available online]
and, to cap it off in a veritable pool of mental drool [gross, but to the point]
Beowulf: An Illustrated Edition [which I did not for the fact that I own at least two copies not in anthologies already, if not three]
There were a number of other books I would love to mention, but for now these are the titles I remembered and desired to share.
Mainly that last one.
It's really pretty.

This really does not belong here, but...
...I GOT MY DEGREE FROM HOUGHTON!
I'm officially out of there and smart and stuff, just like the rest of you!
[And post already, will you? I don't have anything to say right around this time.]

Gift from God or mark of the beast?
Or maybe not either extreme...I just wanted to get this link out for somethoughts on Amazon's new Kindle. Please, my friends and fellow bibliophiles, go and read some of the page and watch their little videos.
How does one react?
[The wannabe-independent-bookstore-owner in me cries out in frustration and despair.]

Because we're all wading throught he quagmire of life right now...
...here's a little [emphasis on little] motivation...
[And silliness]

Like he said...
Hey All,
Pop over to Point of Know Return for a refreshing read of an old standard.
Thanks to Leslie for the loan of the Hitchhiker's Guide omnibus--earth was just detroyed, and I'm sure there's much fun ahead.
What will be our next task?
