So I just got back from Borders, where I used my sweet educator status to use my sweet educator discount to buy sweet educational books. :D

I brought a rather epic list with me, just to make sure I had plenty in case they didn't have some of them. They didn't have quite a few of the books I wanted (wahhh Orthodoxy!) and some others, like Shakespeare plays, they didn't have the Dover Thrifts and I didn't want to spend money on the other editions. Almost got the Kalevala, but decided it was overpriced for a paperback that looked like it had been thrown around in the box a bit. Several others I thought were overpriced too.

BUT! I did score. I got How to Read Literature Like a Professor for cheap, as well as Hero Tales of Ireland. You should have seen me drool all over the mythology bookshelf. I probably spent about 15 minutes in front of it, deliberating. I ALMOST got the Bulfinch Complete Texts, in a shiny leather cover with shiny gold pages, for absurdly cheap, but I decided that I don't WANT a really nice Bulfinch Complete Texts. I want a paperback I can throw across the room and still be in good shape. Ye ken?

Anyway yeah, so only 2 books but it was still a pretty fun experience. I got to wear a sweet "proud educator" sticker all over the store.
