Meanwhile, over in the stacks...

Honestly, it's not all death and morbidity tonight in the Burrow. Stopped at the library after work to pick up my reserved copy of S.M. Stirling's The Scourge of God (which means Martin van Creveld's solid but unexciting The Culture of War goes on the back burner next to the Nuge and Chuck Norris) along with Norah Vincent's Self-Made Man, Hemingway's Death in the Afternoon, and Iain Banks' Inversions.

Still dealing with the tag ends of this cold/respiratory infection/plague; emptied out the change mug this morning to invest in more generic DayQuils.
