books and more books

threeplusfireYesterday Deb and I went on a quest for Pekarkova's Truckstop Rainbows. It's nominally out of print, and the Co-op hasn't gotten it for our Czech class. So we went from one Half-Price to another, stopping for donughts on the way.
At the store on Guadalupe, we found it! Hidden behind another book. We think a classmate must have found it and hidden it so they could return with the $3.50. Now it's ours. Hah. Deb is going to read it first.
I bought two other books, I just couldn't resist. The Road to Darkness by Paul Leppin, and Monsieur Venus by Rachilde. They had a big stack of Decadent stuff from Dedalus and erotica from Velvet. I wanted to buy many more. *sigh* I wish money for books would magically fall out of the sky. I need a patron to fund my book collection. If you buy me books, I'll talk intelligently about them, write papers, be witty and literate at cocktail parties, something like that.
I played with Napster for the first time yesterday. It was quite amusing. I found lots of DJ Adolf, Ivanushki International, random Russian rap music, all kinds of weirdness. When Geoff gets his machine working, he's going to make me a fun mix cd to put in my car. Lively driving music.
The sun is finally out. I think I will take a shower and go out somewhere. Maybe to St Austin's or to Metro. I think I want to walk around campus while it is empty. Maybe go to the library and get some books for free.

Books are like mushrooms. They sprout and spread in your home..
