Printer's Row Book Fair

I went to the annual Printer's Row Book Fair. It was nice. It would have been nice to go with someone, or to stay longer, but it's finals week.
Mischief Avoided

I didn't go to the Drake Hotel after all.
Music

I saw Maurizio Pollini.
Ibn al Arif

"Al-lah is not visible when we are seeing with the eyes; only when all the formulas vanish."

Encyclopedia of Pain

I work in a computer lab in the basement of the science library. At our last staff meeting we picked up printer paper from behind the circulation desk. Someone noticed a book called The Encyclopedia of Pain. Someone else said, "Imagine if we pulled up the checkout record and every name was Chuck Norris."
Listmanias

I've made a few Listmania lists on Amazon. One is on Buddhist books (148 views... neat!), and the other is on heartbreak albums (4 views... oh well).
