Book Lust

Sep 25, 2008 22:00

Books purchased which are necessary for courses:
- The Vikings, by Else Roesdahl
- The Prose Edda(!!), recorded by Snorri Sturluson
- Penguin Historical Atlas of the Vikings, by John Haywood

Books purchased because the U.W. bookstore had them:
- The First Poems in English, translated by Michael Alexander
- The Tolkien Fan's Medieval Reader
- The Monsters and the Critics, by J.R.R. Tolkien

What I'm reading at the moment, apart from schoolbooks:
- The Road to Middle Earth, by Tom Shippey
- The Kalevala *bows to snowgrouse*
- The Year of Living Biblically, by A. J. Jacobs
- The Sagas of the Icelanders
- Alias Grace, by Margaret Atwood

Clearly, not being in school full-time is not mistreating me. Alas for my stories, though; I cannot read and write, it seems.

P.S. Dear U.W. Bookstore: thank you for having an English-Esperanto dictionary. That's fucking awesome.

P.P.S. And thanks for also having the "Teach Yourself Old English" kit that I own. It made me happy.

nerd!
