What I'm reading *

I've always read. While growing up, reading was a refuge when I found life too unpleasant or stressful. Consequently I've bought a lot of books over time as well.

 
Now that I'm no longer in the rich corporate phase of my life I've rediscovered the library. Dayton's library may be maligned by some but is still a great resource. One type of book I like to read is gay fiction and I was surprised to see a lot of it in the Dayton library's catalog. Plus you can even ask them to buy particular titles, and they will!

Below you can see the five most recent books either that I'm reading or that I've acquired. You can search my books, or you can see all my books. Also my classes page has links back to this page for the books for each class.

  We're not reading Faust for GER361 but rather "Urfaust," Goethe's earlier version of the story, but since I've never read Faust I found this English translation of it in the UD library. A Norton edition, it includes many notes and others sources, such as an article about translation and comments from Goethe's notes and letters about Faust.
