Back on campus with nothing to do, my boyfriend and I went down to German Village to check out the Book Loft and that is one place I would not mind being trapped in for a year, provided I had food and water. Thirty-two rooms in four wings of the building...all chock full of books. It is quite amazing. And it's not terribly expensive. Right now almost everything is 5% off publisher list price, and many have additional markdowns. I bought a $5 copy of The Brothers Karamazov and it is my intention to read it by the end of this year. I just realized that I have acquired at least twelve books since the beginning of December. That figures out to one book a month, but some of them are cookbooks and I finished Cyrano de Bergerac already, so I should have more time...except for the fact that I know I am going to buy more books. I am going to SBX tomorrow to buy textbooks, and I can never resist their bargain book rack. Oh, what ever am I going to do...
