I went out and managed to not buy ANYTHING at Target. But then I went to B&N to pick up a YA Julia Alvarez I saw in there a couple weeks back (and to read the foreword and intro to the Feynman's Letters book. Which made me all teary. Anyway.) I did get the book and then in the same section as the FL book was one titled "Kepler's Witch" which I HAD to get because just seeing the title made me all misty. See, I had a physics prof in college wheo was just...incredible. He was a large reason I went to that school. He died of cancer the spring of my sophmore year. One series of his lectures was titled "Was Kepler's mother a witch?"
So...yeah. Hopefully it will be interesting. Looks to be, as it is about the science, politics and religious whackiness swirling around him.
Somewhere around here, there is a picture of me standing on the statue of Kepler and Brahe near my tram stop in Prague.
But I really don't need more books. I have stacks overflowing shelves and I am SO BEHIND. So many unread books. It is sad.
Then I went grocery shopping and came home and started laundry and cooking. Freezer bag of maple-apple chicken thighs marinating in the freezer and a huge bowl of chicken salad made with granny smiths and honey roasted almonds. Mmmm. That and an apricot were dinner. Chicken salad on rye, yum!
