Came home from work to find two books in my mailbox (the physical one, not the digital one). One was a Peter van Heeren I bought over qxl (my first qxl purchase). Just a little bit of frivolity. Nice first edition though. The other was “useful”. A history of English Literature by one Amy Cruse, first published in 1914. It’ll be one of the earliest books on my thesis bibliography (barring Austen’s own writings). I looked at my “lit. hist.” shelf and whaddayaknow – a book-shaped hole just about precisely the size of this volume. That pleased me no end, that did.
Music in my head: (for some reason I just switched to) The Bear Necessities
