Long-Delayed Library Trip

[matrixrefugee]

Finally got to the library here in town (in the middle of all this rain...), partly to take out more books, partly to see about volunteering/getting a job there. If I was going to volunteer, I'd have to go in during the day and speak to one of the head librarians; as for getting a job there, I'd have to go to the Town Hall and see if they have any positions availible. I'm working on this, just as I'm working on getting stuff published via Lulu.com: if you look at my link list on this LJ, you'll notice I just put up a link to my future homepage there, though as of now, it's very much under construction.

But, as for the books I got out:

--Susanna Clarke's "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell", which from what I've heard is an excellent historical fantasy novel.

--Bertrand Russell's "The History of Western Philosophy"; I needed to stretch my mind with some philosophical ideas, so this seemed to fit the bill.

--Clive Cussler's "Sahara", since I just saw the movie, and I'm curious as to why Mr. Cussler is litigation-filing mad about the script for it...

Bertrand Russell? Good choice. The man will definitely make you think. ^_^
