Finally something that may spark an intellectual post
I have some new finds today, thanks to work's library oversupply.
I was able to obtain a copy of:
1. Proper Merimee's "Carmen." Oxford World's Classics
2. Ludwig Von Mises' "The Ultimate Foundation of Economic Science" (kind of like the WWF of Economic Science).
3. Franco Venturi's "The End of the Old Regime in Europe, 1768-1776"
4. John Milton's "The Major Works." Oxford World's Classics
I also borrowed some goodies:
1. I'm a fan of kitschy lists and as a companion piece to the "1001 Albums You Have To Listen To Before You Die" and the "1001 Movies You Have To See Before You Die," I now have the "1001 Books You Have to Read Before You Die."
I also raided our Criterion Collection and grabbed:
1. Salesman; and
2. Tokyo Olympiad
Comments will follow the viewings.
I also really should sit through "Night and Fog" tonight for a discussion tomorrow, but I am dreading the immense sadness of this film. It was the first to be shot after the demise of the Nazi regime and the closing of Auswitz.
