Books

So Phil and I went to the used book store and I found three good books. Dostoevsky's Crime & Punishment, Kafka's The Trial, and (always the good sociology student with under the table socialist yearnings) Marx's Kapital. On the way back we stopped at this little cafe a few blocks from our apartment called Lulu's. I walked in the door and fell in love. The place was exactly the atmosphere I was hoping to find. The coffee I ordered tasted good. Phil and I sat there and enjoyed our drinks for a bit. Then I looked at the door and saw the hours posted that they close at 6pm every night! And as quickly as I fell in love, I was heartbroken. I would barely be home from work in time to get there. So, that one's out. We're still on the lookout though.

Got home and found my parents birthday card in the mail, which was sweet cause it had a 25 dollar gift certificate to Barnes & Noble, so being on the classic literature kick, we went down to downtown and walked around Circle Center mall and found a bookstore and got three more good books. Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamov, Orwell's Animal Farm, and Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises. So, all that to say that it's been a pretty big book day for us. On a side note, we found Kistler a sweet looking dress shirt at Express and his not-girlfriend Step is gonna love it.
