A book on northern mythology and an English grammar. :D

I never really had a 'big picture' of scandinavian mythology, only bits and pieces I picked up from various games or from reading I did on my own on specific subjects. Also, this book I'm reading is in Romanian, and it's really interesting to see how some of the concepts I only heard of in English are translated into Romanian.

Pretty close? :D

Two current books
1) _Goblin Quest_ by Jim C. Hines. Fantasy Adventure told from the goblin's point of view.

2) _Batman: Inferno_ by Alex Irvine. What would happen if the Joker found the Batman's cave and made off with various of his equipment, including the Batmobile? Takes place during year 2, approximately.

It has an interesting history that book, and the 1961 version seems like it may be a better choice than the newer '84 edition

A book with female genitalia?! How quaint. Does it also have "issues" once a month?

Who's the author of this? I presume it's part of a series.

The title sounds familiar.

That grammar book is still there... plus a book on the early history of the printing machine -- think Gutenberg.
