Apparently I am meme-ing instead of studying. Maybe in the interim purchase money security interests will have become interesting.

Hee. Look at me with all of my Austen and Dickens. Actually, a lot of those are on my 'to read' list. I'm sure I'll get to them eventually. I'm currently making my way through Virginia Woolf's The Voyage Out. It's fascinating and wonderfully think-y.

One of these days I'll actually make it through a work of epic poetry. One day.

That was a fun distraction. Back to the grindstone. Ugh.

Who has a copy of The Hobbit and doesn't read it! That's bizarre. That and Watership Down were early staples of my bookshelf.

I got your card in the mail yesterday. :D Thank you very much!
