i went to borders and barnes & noble tonight looking for one thing in particular, but ended up staying for a couple of hours looking at things. I love bookstores. My purchases consisted of a supplemental text for my dynamics class (what I originally went to get), "A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking, a book about Ancient Egypt, and "The Portrait of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde.
Driving back home I realized I might be a bigger nerd than I had thought...but hey, I like to learn.
There are also a couple of books about engineering in ancient history and a book about the history of how thoeries in physics came about during their respective times I am probably going to order online (they didn't have them in stock).

Maybe being one uv them thar val-dic-toriuns pays off.
Maybe we should have named our blog Nerds-R-Us. *Damn lifetime learners!*
Maybe Joy has it right. Of course, some of us (not me!) will reap the benefits of the educational expenditures -- I just get to pay off a bigger Visa bill. Sometimes I wonder why I'm bothering ... guess it's an insurance policy in case I ever get to move away from this place.
