Barb, I did much the same thing for a clutch of Rilke quotes. And then I bought the "right" translations, since I'd had to do second-hand book search on a couple that were OOP.
::sigh::
I just went and bought one well-respected translation (and OMG, how much do I love living in a city where one can readily find such a thing on a local bookstore's shelves?) and just to make double-secret-probation sure of which one I want to use, I ordered a 1953 translation that's supposed to be the preeminent translation. Thank you, Alibris, for making it available for only $5.50.
My dorkitude, let me shows you it.
My agent has been laughing at me all day.
Yeah, smonster. I see your point. What does he want to see (and I swear, if it's "Dear John" run. away. fast.)
I'm thoroughly charmed by smonster's twitterpation.
And also agreeing w/DJ-- if Other Dude doesn't want to see any of those fine choices and if his choice is, indeed, "Dear John," you need to run away very very quickly.
I just got an email that another school wants to interview me.
I have a picture in my mind of a cartoon with a large building bending down towards you and saying, "So, why did you leave your last position?"
Also: it's good to be wanted.
Yay for Harvey havitued, Daniel!
That's good news, Hil. Much ~ma that they keep coming in.
I have reached the end of my first week of work! I iz happy, but with hurty feet still.
For the Goth who doesn't have everything:

I'm torn between delighted acquisitiveness and an uncertain sense of inappropriateness.
Ask her if she wants the name/number of a guy who does good work for cheap.
Thanks, Zenkitty! My friend lives in a condo, and I think she wants the shovel to burrow down to ground level for her dogs eliminatory comfort. But I'll see if she has more ambitious needs, like getting her car out of the parking lot.
Okay, how cool is this? My editor was interviewed and mentioned ME among her authors.
