On Saturday I hunted down a copy of Grimm's Fairy Tales in German from the library (it's called Kinder- und Hausmärchen). Since yesterday was a holiday here in Utah (Pioneer Day), I couldn't go to work, so -- poor me! -- I had to stay at home and ...
What shall I write about today? Well, for starters, the bookstore's bargain sale ended 45 minutes ago, so I stopped by again earlier today and got four more books (Wendy Shalit's A Return to Modesty, Elizabeth George Speare's The Bronze Bow, Finding God at BYU, and ...
It's so tempting to keep writing about how cool Swahili is, but I'll refrain. At least for a day. :)
