Kullervo

Old "remaindered" books:

Selected Poetry and Prose of William Blake (50's Modern Library edition)
Camus - The Plague (70s Vintage)

My recent rereading of Mann's Faustus, with Leverkühn's songs with texts by Blake and the description of the poems made me realize I know next to nothing about him, other than what I was force-fed (and promptly forgot) in High School, and indeed, that I really need to catch up on English language poetry (other than Shakespeare) in general.

As for Camus, I read The Stranger a few years ago, but it made little impression. I think I was led to it by a line in a Magnetic Fields song.  ::)

Sheepskin slippers.

Fortunately there are two of them  :)
'I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth.' ~ Emily Bronte

Hehe, I thought that "Deluxe" went out of fashion in the late 80s when it started getting added to camper vans :D I guess it's making a comeback...
Peanut butter, flour and sugar do not make cookies. They make FIRE.

A 4GB Sansa Fuze player.



A friend (in Texas, in fact) had bought the 'previous generation' Sansa player;  so I drew frank benefit from his research before his purchase, and from his satisfaction since purchasing.

To mark my CD-Rs. I have heard that Sharpies can damage CDs over time. If there is any truth to it, I don't want my CDs ruined.
