'Fraid you're in the literacy-free zone there, Robert. That's nerdland
where books are sooo retro, dude. Get a kindle spliced into your
forearm for the price of a hardbound Moby Dick. Whatever. I can tease,
I had some great classes at SJS, but I bought my books off Abe Books
or at Logos when I was living in Aptos, not far from Vineland Rd.

creeds the warm sympathy of one who has come to learn that even the
trust in reason is a precarious faith, and that we are all fragments
of darkness groping for the sun. I know no more about the ultimates
than the simplest urchin in the streets." -- Will Durant
