I know. Scary.

Borders Books is having a big clearance sale. (Hope they're not going out of business, but you never know.  :( ) Anyway, we went in yesterday and picked up bunches.

I'm reading The Gift of the Sacred Pipe.

Also got a history of Punk rock and Lynda Barry's Cruddy.

I'll bet I'd need a cypher machine just to read that PhD thesis on cypher machines.

Not going to hit my store, insofar as I've been told.

A wiki article on the Molly Maguires.

Not actually, provided your German is reasonable. It's a PhD in history of science, not mathematics.

Alas, my German is not reasonable. My fault, I left him out in the rain last night.

Tell me about it...

The Qu'ran

While many chapters of the bible are structured as a tale with morals, the qu'ran so far seems far more preachy (like a collection of mass sermons*).

* I never understood how that worked marketing wise.  ???

A book to improve my English beyond the confines of the normal textbooks (No, it's not Learn to talk like a redneck in 15 easy lessons  ;))

I can't imagine why you would need that. I think you may speak better English than I do, even on a web-conversational basis.


Currently, the first edition of Intermittens, which is a Discordian web mag. Appeals to my sense of the absurd.

On the web I can consult a dictionary. In face-to-face communication that is a bit awkward.
That reminds me of an idea Swift presented in the 3rd book of Gulliver's Travels: In order to keep people, esp. women (that old sexist!) from chattering too much, he proposed a law that no noun could be used in conversation without a physical item representing that noun be present  ;).
Also, "book language" is usually a bit behind actual use on the street.
