End of Semester = Good Reads
<![]()
I find that cover to be incredibly funny~ I guess you kind of have to know a thing or two about the Princess Bride to find the line “The ‘Good Parts’ Version” to be funny…or maybe you have to be someone who laughs at everything…Like me.
:D Anyway. I picked up this book yesterday after getting ice cream (Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry’s!) with Kaitlin and Justina. I didn’t plan on spending money, but after eating our delicious FREE cones (did I mention they were free?) and running into a few people in Rittenhouse Square (we saw Tyler twice), Justina decided she needed to use the lav. So what better place to free your mind (and bladder) than Barnes & Noble? (Narnes & Boble, according to Lauren.)
So while Justina went to relieve herself, Kaitlin and I started poking through the magazines. We were reveling over (okay, I was reveling) over the anime magazines, though I said I wouldn’t buy one. (I didn’t.) Kaitlin jokingly suggested that I get the last issue of Newtype (yes, the February issue), and so we ended up discussing why they went out of print. Kaitlin says that they say that it’s not because of the FREE goodies that come with the magazine (though you know, you really ARE paying for those FREE DVDs).
Then I thought about the books I said I wanted to read (the list is at least a mile long). So we went on the hunt for The Princess Bride. Of course…we were hindered by multiple things including manga, other awesome novels, and…Spark Notes. (Hahaha) Not for their “proper” use either!
Long story curtailed, I bought The Princess Bride…and started reading it…and now I’m confused.
I need to hurry up and read this, though, before I start Texts & Contexts… :|
