Ugh--another unpleasant task: returning all my library books. What this means, of course, is going through and bidding goodbye to each one, some from three or four dissertation topics ago, some with those articles in them that I know I should have read but never got around to, some (even worse) that might have something useful in them but I've never had time to check, some with entire new systems of thought that some collleague suggested would totally revolutionize my worldview and probably would but oh well, plus the collected works of Ron Silliman. Oops, there's another shelf I missed.
