Today was the day that my freshman comp class was scheduled to meet at the library at 9:00 am to 10:30 am for class. It was the kickoff to the beginning of our research papers and at 10:30 am everyone bolted for the doors, as soon as the instructor left. That is, everyone except me. I just got home at... 3:00 pm.

This isn't really a bad thing. I rediscovered something that I remember loving for a long time and it's something that I've not experienced for quite a while. There's an aroma to a library that you can't get anywhere else. Old books filled with old paper and bound decades past. I walked in and could smell it. I remember it from many times with my grandfather and the libraries that he'd take me to.

I ended up revising my theis into exploring Shakespeares political views and his manner of expressing them in Macbeth.

...and I currently have the following books sitting in a chair beside me...

Breaking Boundaries: politics and play in the drama of Shakespeare and his contemporaries
Shakespeares Political Pageant
The language of power, the power of language
Eight tragedies of Shakespeare: A Marxist study
English literature in the earlier seventeenth century
Shakespeare as a political thinker
The royal play of Macbeth: When, why and how it was written
Of philosophers and kings
Lies like truth: Shakespeare, Macbeth and the cultural moment

Yeah... I'm a geek.
