150 Islands—Macedonia [sp2011001898]

Picture of golem grad island seen from the water

It seems there’s only one island in Macedonia, so it probably slipped through the cracks until now…but in that case perhaps there should be a new heading that reads “Island — Macedonia”?

Too many books

I’m almost done with (and thoroughly enjoying)…

Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss

 but it is too heavy to carry on the bus, so I checked out…

Dispossessed by Ursula K. le Guin

but then I realized I could download the Overdrive app for my phone, so I electronically borrowed…

Omnitopia Dawn by Diane Duane

But then a co-worker who knows I love sci-fi adventures with female protagonists brought me…

Serpent's Reach by CJ Cherryh

And then today when I was shelving newspapers I saw and had to grab…

Rudyard Kipling's Tales of Horror & Fantasy

And my office shelf is still holding…

Demise of the Library School by Cox

But I don’t really want to beat a dead horse, as the saying goes, so I haven’t been motivated to read it, nor have I sunk my teeth into…

Capitalism, for and against: a feminist perspective

and I should really just give up on…

Painting the Web by Shelley Powers

Historical Issues #2: Soviet Film
