What's better than a good book?

A FREE good book.

On my walk to work this morning, I passed an old Chinese man poking thorugh a pile of books someone left on a street corner.  Among these books were Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh, and the Killer Angels by Michael Shara (a civil war novel which heavily influenced Joss Whedon's thoughts for Firefly). 

I now have some new reading material.

There is a library at MIT giving way free books. I made off with like 20 books on arcane parts of science history. It was pretty cool.

Sweet! I'm reading a book now analyzing movies from the 50's and the political statements they were making. It's very interesting, but I could use a nice break inbetween chapters. Civil War fiction and Scottish shenangians should make for a nice break!
