i was wondering how that was spelled.
special interest- languages. i went to borders again today.
my little black book? NFT 2007 San Francisco. I found one that wasn't thoroughly bent. again with the purchases.
i have an interest in anime/manga/comics, but i am captivated by x-men and naruto for no specific reason. so i purchased a few comic books as well.
freud will have to be shelved. sherlock? maybe. i'll read the short stories. i caved and gave in to drab's book suggestion. i am curious as to how such a tiny book can make a grown man cry. the sirens of titan. vonnegut asks AND answers the question to the meaning of life, all in one book?! how daring of him. the only thing that shook my senses was some excerpt from the how doctors think book detailing the story of a mother adopting a child from vietnam and dealing with the baby's SCIDS, which turned out to be malnutrition, no thanks to the doctorS' incorrect diagnosis. then again, there were references to religion and the lady's faith in God and God's divine will, so that tarnished what could have been an alluring story.
i also got special topics in calamity physics. i was also going to purchase magyk, some young adult's novel involving fantasy, but somehow i felt i was too old for that stuff. maybe another time. i was also compelled to read harry potter. i'll wait until the last one and hope that harry finally dies, and i would no longer have to deal with his teenage angst.
oh yes, one more. lonely planet's cantonese phrasebook. back to the special interest in languages- i was tempted to buy the pimsleur's language software along with other books related to french and swedish. i don't know; i really want to learn those two right now for some reason, but i decided it was better that i master cantonese and mandarin before moving on. maybe another time for this one as well.
one complaint- the markup in prices at borders. they're just like barnes and noble. ugh.
