Words, words, words

Painter 7 leeched get! 'Fraid I won't have the time to play around with it for a while yet, though.

I've been just scooping up tons of books at the library while I work. So far I've checked out books on:

* Medieval legends
* Disney films
* Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead
* Dante's Purgatorio (I've already read Inferno)
* Women in China
* Homosexuality in China

with no time at all to read them. Spring break's coming up, I'll probably get through one book... at best. And then I'll come across more stuff of interest and...

The last two on the list are particularly interesting (and the most quickly devoured), because they're relatively recent books dealing with issues I've only had inklings of, at best, as a seven-year-old in China. It's strange, that I am now able to get the clearest view of modern Chinese society, over ten years after I've left it.
