My Christmas List is Complete

Wednesday August 3, 2005
Oh. My. Word.

Seriously, if I was to receive this for a Christmas present, I could die and go to heaven. Via BoingBoing:

"Amazon.com is selling the Penguin Classics Library, all of it, for $7989.99, saving $5,324.75 off the cover prices. The 2005 list includes 1,082 paperbacks titles, from Edwin A. Abbott to Emile Zola, from The Complete Pelican Shakespeare to The Portable Sixties Reader. The collection weighs 700 pounds. Fortunately, it qualifies for free shipping."
Dear Santa:

I would formally like to request the Penguin Classics Library. I've been extraordinarily good. Ask anyone. And I would appreciate what I was reading, you know, I would be enriched by literature and all that jazz. Heck, Santa, I'd throw in a free SEO site analysis for you. I'm seriously coveting this collection. Thanks!

Related: As a humanities major (go OSU Beavers!), I'm always attracted to good books. Here are some more arts and humanities resources for you on the Web:

  • Arts and Humanities Resources on the Invisible Web: Whether you're researching an English term paper, writing a grant proposal for your History department, or just trying to educate yourself, these Arts and Humanities resources on the Invisible Web are sure to help you.
  • EventJAR.com: Kind of a little site, but it's always adding new info about cultural events. Use EventJAR.com to find a cultural or entertainment event near you, including festivals, museum exhibitions, and more.
