Barnes and Noble (in stores) is having a sale on their hardcover "classics" ... 3/$9.99 (and you can buy one and they'll still give you the $3.33 price). I cleared out the Durham B&N stock of their books:

• Dostoevsky's "The Idiot
• Selected poems by Dickinson
• Marx's "The Communist Manifesto"
• Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray"
• Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland"
• Cooper's "The Last of the Mohicans"
• Homer's "The Odyssey"
• Voltaire's "Candide"
• Dicken's "Oliver Twist"
• Conrad's"Heart of Darkness"

All of this (with my B&N membership) was only $30! A steal if you ask me, plus since these are hardcovers, these should last a while...

. . .

by the way, i've decided to follow in yush's footsteps and become a poet. check out these haikus, each dedicated to a very special person on the duke team:

everflowering stream
teeming with aquatic life
jj redick sucks

the crisp autumn leaves
sharp breaths, bring back memories
shelden williams sucks

red-breasted robin,
soars and tumbles through the wind
josh mcroberts sucks

the sea-field of gold
gently sways with western winds
sean dockery sucks

cold rain falls on me
the passing bus splashes me
greg paulus, you suck

stiff, giant redwood
cannot breathe in the forest
melchionni sucks

tears brim her full eyes
ashamed, she gazes at him
coach krzyzewski sucks
