you must tear out your own, etc. etc.

I keep intending to reply to peoples' comments on that philosophical-type post, but somehow never quite get to it. (Maybe after the philosophy midterm on Thursday.)

In the meantime: I've been rereading a lot of books so far in college, but I've also scooped up a few new ones. From the library, mainly, though it's difficult to browse LC for fiction.

The most recent book I read in this fashion is The Last Unicorn, by Peter S. Beagle.

I had never read this before, and in a way I'm glad I didn't. My experience of it would have been much different if I'd been younger, though not necessarily worse. As it was, I enjoyed it thoroughly, and am a little sad to see it go back to the library.

(Such a nice plain red library binding, too. The covers I saw on it when I was a child were definitely at least half to blame for me never picking it up.)

And now I know where all those quotes come from.

So all in all, a very satisfactory reading experience. If I can find a copy of it as nice as the one I got from the library, I will definitely buy it.
