Library haul! I trucked home these books:

1066 And All That
That Summer in Paris
Arsenic Under the Elms: Murder in Victorian New Haven
Christopher Marlowe: Poet and Spy
Poisoned LIves: English Poisoners and their Victims
The Saintly Politics of Catherine of Siena
(one of my thesis books, but I want a reread)
Wonderful Blood: Theology and Practice in Late Medieval Northern Germany and Beyond (this is Caroline Walker Bynum. I was also going to pick up Jesus as Mother but it wasn't on the shelf where it was supposed to be.

Also spent a gift certificate, buying book three and preordering book four of the Inspector Chen books, and I also picked up a copy of Gift of Fear since I see references to the thing everywhere and want to read it for myself.

My 7th grade social studies teacher, Miss Binkowski, would walk into her classroom (her trailer, actually) and say, "What year?" and we knew we were to answer, "1066!"

She was the same one who gave us a creative writing assignment about imagining what it would have been like to live in ancient Greece. She was letting me write? imaginatively? In history class?? I wrote that I'd go back to ancient Greece as a 6 ft. tall, athletic blond (stop it) and she wrote, "Wow!" on my paper. I still remember that wow. :)

Anyway....:D
