Who Would've Known?

I've always had a love for reading. At the same time, I've always had a fetish for used books & going to used bookstores to find cool reads. One book which has constantly evaded my grasp - & BTW, this is one book I'd recommend for you to go check on out - is Marcuse's Eros and Civilization. Each time I'd go to a used bookstore it was like no dice; I knew I'd stumble on to it eventually but when? Time & time again the very book I wanted to get seemed to be an elusive find, available yet in hiding as if to say to me, "Maybe next time. I'll slip up then & I'll be yours for the taking."

Just a short while ago I found not only Eros and Civilization but also An Essay on Liberation while I was at it. This goes to show that I'm not only a lucky sonofabuck when it comes to snatching up some awesome reads; it's just one aspect of a man who wants to keep learning & keep soaking up knowledge like a sponge. And I'm feeling pretty ecstatic, to tell you the truth.
