While we were out between my thesis presentation and my study abroad essay reading, I went into a little bookstore near campus to find a thank you card for my thesis advisor. I came out with a book full of John Williams Waterhouse's paintings (like "The Lady of Shallot," 1888). It was only $17, which I couldn't pass up. Actually, I rarely can pass up a cheap book (usually I don't spend as much as I did yesterday, but it was an art book, which are rarely that cheap). A book that's $3-10 is hard for me to resist because you never know when it might be good. Which explains the two novels that I have sitting on my shelf waiting for exams to be over so that I can start them.
