Humans Are So Silly With Their Soft-boiling Of Eggs And Such.

"I just started reading 1984 by George Orwell….Technically, I haven’t started the first page yet but I did put a bookmark in it. I bookmarked this bitch so I feel like I’m on my way." - oh my god I love this and I do the same thing. It does count for something. 

FRIDAY READS!

I’ll take any lucks I can get. 

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

I love to browse the Q section of the stacks - growing up on Bill Nye the Science Guy, I have a healthy appreciation for the general sciences! This interesting book really caught my eye, as there are a wide variety of images made me want to learn more about it. Published in 1636, here is Delicia Physic-Mathematicae, a book about scientific recreations and ideas for inventions. Daniel Schwenter (Schwender) is the author of this book, and he was also a mathematician, inventor, poet, and librarian!

Want to read this entire book? Check it out on Google Books!

Oh, the horror!

I mainly read YA because I have a PhD in literature and I need the complexity and emotion to remain intellectually engaged, but sometimes I do like to relax with an adult book. It’s nice to rest my mind with long descriptions and philosophical digressions and to read about feelings like ambivalence and activities like elder care. I really enjoy Tom Robbins’ Jitterbug Perfume because he writes so well about vegetables before he gets to the sexy bits.
