I'm considering buying a Kindle, considering the new one is going to be lighter, smaller, cheaper, partly because of the lower cost of textbooks as ebooks.

I still love books. But textbooks just suck.

Text books do suck. I'm gonna have to buy a shitload right away and I'm not happy about it. Out of all of the books I had to get for school last year, I think ONE of them is gonna be really useful in the future.

faust is ok so far. I dont really like plays that much, though, and i hate most poetry. But there's still some classy lines in here, and he has a clever way to rhyme. I'm reading the kaufman translation.

I finished the Yiddish Policeman's Union today. (There was a lot I had in my backlog.)

It's a solid detective story, with a Jewish twist.

I remember reading Flowers for Algernon in school, then we watched the movie version Charly and the teacher fast forwarded past the sex scene. :\
