Buying textbooks for next quarter doesn't count as holiday shopping

photo-8.jpgNo, the books aren't strategically covering anything, as hot as that image (of someone other than your author) would be. Hey! Do you think that one of "those" projects a la Calendar Girls or the Hot Men of the Houston Fire Department calendar would be a good fund-raising idea for academic departments? And what would be the title of that semi-cerebral semi-smut?

P.D. Since I'm being inappropriate about books, here were my thoughts as I walked away from the book bins on A Street. I had just returned most of the books I'd checked out this quarter, retaining Ladies Who Lunge and El vampiro de la colonia Roma (as my fuck-off reading and jump on my reading list, respectively). Some of those books I'd checked out only Tuesday evening and as I watched those disappear into the slot, I felt I'd used them fast like cheap sluts - and worse, I'd neglected to appreciate the whole body, instead I'd fetish-ized only those parts that were of most interest to me.
