If you are in the sciences then your texts will cost up to 100% more. I am only taking an 80% course load this term however, so my costs are down in intensity.

My comment came across with more seriousness than I had wanted to show.
Of those publications, I've only ever heard of Neruda.
And I'm working on a thousand dollar book bill right now... the personal library is taking pretty good shape as classes wind down and thesis-writing winds up.

Picked up Remembering the Hiragana as well, which I'm now half way through. It's a very good system. In a week I've memorized 240 Kanji and half the Hiragana.

Finished up Flood by Stephan Baxter, now looking to scrounge up the sequel so I can read it too.

I just ordered Dreams in the Witch House and the Thing on the Doorstep, 2 collections of HP lovecraft made by the guy who made the first collection I got so shouldn't be any duplicate stories and I think it's pretty much all of his stories.

India, Emergening Power- Stephen P. Cohen
After reading The Girl With the Dragon Butterfly by Stieg Larsson I don't think I'll read the 3rd book. It's not as well written as the 2nd and certainly not in the same league as, say, the Sjöwall and Wahlöö thrillers or (for non-Swedish readers) Grisham's The Pelican Brief.

I'm mildly surprised that Cheezy is reading Mawdsley.
Finished the Wickham book (I can't recommend it highly enough, frankly) and have now discovered the university library. Right now it's Anson's Eumenes of Cardia and Ellis' Philip II and Macedonian Imperialism, since the Paret, Deák, and Rothenberg books on more modern stuff were checked out.

I've actually never heard of him before, and his book looked the most objective (other books about the Civil War were called "A People's Tragedy" and such, or by neocon liars like Richard Pipes). Please explain.
Oh, okay. I didn't think it was particularly well written and seemed to have a little bit more anti-Bolshevik bias than books that I would think that you'd be reading.

Don't think I haven't already noticed both counts. But given the alternatives, his is a shining beacon of honesty so far.
