The almond and the apple and the sugar from the maple

Some days you go into a used book store and you do not leave with anything, which is fine.

And some days you go into a used book store and you leave with the first full English translation of Sholem Aleichem's Wandering Stars (1909), a pocket edition of H.D.'s Kora and Ka with Mira-Mare (1934), a new trade paperback of Theodore Sturgeon's Some of Your Blood (1961), and the Complete Plays of Sarah Kane (2001), which you were just discussing on Friday halfway up a mountain with schreibergasse's brother.

The latter is to be preferred.

I'm delighted to hear of this.

I started to write that in the wrong language. I wish I'd been able to take Ancient Greek in a fashion that would've involved me successfully learning the language, so I'd be able to say it to you in the same. I actually was talking about Homer with someone today, briefly, which made me think of you.

This may be a stupid question, but is Sarah's work much known in the US?

Not to mention the friend who found The Tree if Life: A Phylogenetic Classification at half price.
