Because I'm weird like this--I have a predilection for cataloging!--, I'll just randomly blog about the books I picked up today for my fall semester.
Unavailable at the bookstore were, I think, three or four books that I needed (a couple for Screenwriting, and at least one additional book for Advanced Expository Writing).
E304 - Literatures in English, 1900 - Present:
- The Oxford Book of English Short Stories ed. A. S. Byatt
- Extravagant Strangers: A Literature of Belonging ed. Caryl Phillips
- Indian Ink by Tom Stoppard
- Pymalion by George Bernard Shaw
- Never Let Me Go: A Novel by Kazuo Ishiguro
W302 - Screenwriting:
- Writing the Screenplay by Alan A. Armer
W315 - Writing for the Web:
- The Non-Designer's Web Book, Third Edition by Robin Williams & John Tollett
W350 - Advanced Expository Writing:
- The Subject is Story: Essays for Writers and Readers eds. Wendy Bishop & Hans Ostrom
I'm already beginning to feel overwhelmed; hopefully the professors and classmates, and an interest in the material, will do wonders to assuage that sense of dread.
On the good side of things, though, my beloved ruling authority at the national level thought it fitting to pass ample-sized amounts of money my way, such that I now don't have any personal debt for this final year!
Kudos to the Democrats for that; I know most Republicans would scoff at the idea of taxpayers paying for my tuition and books (with a "smattering"--in reality quite a large amount--for gas and other expenses, to boot!)
