Title: I bought books today.
Post by: Joe Molotov on February 21, 2009, 06:36:07 PM

I've been doing a lot of reading over the past few months. I finally finished The Illuminatus! Trilogy and Foucault's Pendulum, which had been a goal of mine for about the past five years. I hit up Half-Price Books today and bought some more books to read.

I think I'm going to read The Watchmen first.

I still need to get around to reading WWZ. Watchmen is always an excellent choice, though.

Quote from: Synopsis

Set against the background of the Black Death of 1348, the hundred linked tales in Boccaccio's masterpiece are peopled by nobles, knights, nuns, doctors, lawyers, students, artists, peasants, pilgrims, servants, spendthrifts, thieves, gamblers, police—and lovers, both faithful and faithless.

I've yet to read it. But I'm excited to do so.
