| | What I'm reading *
I've always read. While growing up, reading was a refuge when I found life too unpleasant or stressful. Consequently I've bought a lot of books over time as well.
Now that I'm no longer in the rich corporate phase of my life I've rediscovered the library. Dayton's library may be maligned by some but is still a great resource. One type of book I like to read is gay fiction and I was surprised to see a lot of it in the Dayton library's catalog. Plus you can even ask them to buy particular titles, and they will!
Below you can see the five most recent books either that I'm reading or that I've acquired. You can search my books, or you can see all my books. Also my classes page has links back to this page for the books for each class.

| 2004-08-17 | | Readings in Scientific and Technical German: An Introduction to General Science in German | Curts, Paul Holroyd | | | | This is the second of two books my mother gave me after she thinned out her bookshelves. She's never studied German and isn't sure how she got this book. It's too old for an ISBN (so was the other book she gave me but its reprints finally got an ISBN). If you want a copy of this book, you can't get it at Amazon, but AntiQBook has it. Wayne M. Spray penciled his name in the inside front cover of my copy; he also had to give a report on Thursday, May 13th (1937? -- that date was a Thursday that year) at 2pm on his reading.
Reading articles or books in English about general science can be interesting from time to time but auf Deutsch is still a bit beyond me, or at least not the subject matter that would motivate me to attempt it. Still the glossary at the end of the book is interesting. | |
