You guessed it, packing is underway here. We have books --many books -- thanks to Joe. I'm to blame, as well, but most of the books are his. He took quite a few with him on his drive to Montana and for that I an grateful. However, I'm still here with many more to pack. Here's a list of some of the interesting ones we have:
- The Qur'an: No, we're not Muslim. Joe took quite a few classes about Islam. Are Muslims offended if we, Christians, have a copy of their holy book?
- Nick of the Woods: I'm sure you haven't heard of this book. I had to read it in college and I've been trying to get rid of it since then. It's boring and dull and it's been sitting on my book shelf for 10 years.
- Encyclopedia of Chicago: Joe worked at the University of Chicago Press and he used to get some books for free. This is one. Anything you want to know about Chicago? Ask me, I can tell you.
- Encyclopedia of Outdoor Survival: This might come in handy in Montana (and if the Dec. 21, 2012 thing is accurate; I'm skeptical).
- Warriner's English Grammar book: A must for writers and English majors. I haven't looked at in years, though. Judging from some of grammatical errors, I should probably consult this book.
- Complete book of Grimm Fairy Tales: The real stories of Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, among others. Not like the washed out Disney versions. I think I'll start reading these to Caitlynn and Miles.
We also have Catcher in the Rye that Joe purchased with a debit card. I wonder if he's on a watch list now. He also has a few Karl Marx books. That probably gets him his own file at the FBI or NSA.
