I am obsessed with reading and with utilizing the 3 month timeframe provided to me as a graduate student with access to an enormous research library.  Here's the latest books I've finished and just turned back in:

As I have noticed with other previous writings, themes and concepts from hundreds of years prior are eerily applicable to present day. In my reading of Arnold’s Literature and Science, I have found a salve fo
