Aug. 22nd, 2005 08:00 pmToday, after we finaly finished the first day stuff in Brit Lit, and were told what books we were doing this year (Beowulf, Hamlet, MacBeth, 1984, and the Hound of the Baskerviles) with some other random chapters of Canterburry Tales and poetry, and I had a good cry about doing Beowulf again, we we allowed to go down to the library.
I haddn't looked at the new books this year, but the first thing I did was snatch up the copy of Fray! I'm not really into comics, but it's shiney and it's a dranged crossover between scifi and fantasy, which is always a plus. I've never understood the whole "technology and magic cannot coexist" thing that many fantasy writers have.
And you could tell who the book geeks were, because we were busy exclaiming over the new stock, and the rest were standing away from the books and talking, and just took 30 seconds to pick up a book.
