JMK’s no slouch in the book department, either; he’s so hard-core, in fact, that there are two, count ‘em, two copies of Feynman’s Six Easy Pieces. (Sure, one is analog and the other is digital, but I think he still gets extra credit.)

It’s 20 years this month since I moved to Ohio to go to graduate school, earn my PhD and dazzle the world with my literary-critical prowess.

It’s 14-1/2 years since I quit graduate school, having dazzled no one, and yet the books still remain.

It was a huge pain in the arse to move our gazillion boxes of books, but it’s nice to see them on the shelves. We initially tried to bring some order to the shelving process, but ultimately ended up with very broad categories and curious juxtapositions; I’m going to make a virtue of our haste and desire to see the books unboxed and simply suggest that it highlights a charming eclecticism.
