DO NOT STEAL BOOKS FROM YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY, PLEASE - Voile Staff
I'm graduating in less than a month now, and so I have been looking through my house's bookshelves, raiding them for books that aren't mine and belong to the school in some way. Some of these are library books, some of these are school-assigned books, and still others are books from friends that I borrowed way back in sophomore year and haven't given back in two years.
Whoops... These books include and are not limited to: Crime and Punishment (Dostoevsky), The Tempest (
piece of shit Shakespeare), Life in Medieval England (by J.J. Bagley, I should give that back to my friend before I graduate...), the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Douglas Adams, this book too...), The Other Boleyn Girl (I still haven't seen the movie), The Name of the Rose (Umberto Eco), Utopia (by Thomas More), Chronicle of a Death Foretold (
piece of shit Marquez) The Kindness of Strangers (by John Boswell, why do I have so many books on medieval England around here?), Notes from Underground (also by Dostoevsky), The Stranger (Camus), Magic Knight Rayearth (omnibus edition), Dracula (that ending sucked), and The Six Wives of Henry VIII (I am a history geek).
Oh, and a half dozen foreign language dictionaries (Spanish to English and back again, French to English, Japanese to English, Italian to English, and one anomalous guide to Yiddish.)
So, what have you guys been reading recently in the way of books?
