Had I checked this out last month, we could have hoisted one while I was in TO. You did kinda drop off the map. The only thing that really counts when lugging around reading is - how heavy? will it need wheels? will it get caught in the elevator door behind me and will it cost more to feed than the dog? Paul Auster's 'The Book of Illusions' was just right. Man, am I sfb. Had I checked this out last month, we could have hoisted one while I was in TO. You did kinda drop off the map.

Somehow I've become an open-source champion. I suspect the aforementioned abbas is partly to blame. Thanks,

As you say, any asshole could pretend they are enjoying Crime and Punishment, but choosing the right blogware? That's a taste that can't be faked. Nice to read your stuff again!

Nothing too serious, so I brought some homework to help with the wait. I spend most of my waiting room time doing Calculus, but after I was admitted I decided to switch to reading my Biological Anthropology textbook. The nurse came in and saw the book and exclaimed in surprised manner, "Why are you reading that?" I replied, "Because I'm a Biological Anthropology student." Later when the doctor appeared he saw the book, gave me a smile and said something along the lines of "Good work." After I left I started to wonder if it may seem to be pretentious to read such textbooks while in a hospital? I'm not overly concerned with the matter, I was more intent on getting my reading finished for the upcomming week. Yesterday I had to go to the hospital.
