I mean, textbooks last semester were as expensive as Montreat textbooks had been per semester, so I suppose I just lucked out on the classes I chose this semester.

The Bhagavad-Gita and the Epic of Gilgamesh are both on the list, and are the two cheapest texts. I am quite looking forward to reading the Bhagavad-Gita but not the Epic of Gilgamesh.

Why are textbooks so darn expensive?

Well, that's your problem right there! Amazon is having a sale on grad students next week, I think. Order a case. It's amazing what a difference some indentured servants make.

Gilgamesh is shorter. It has gods, goddesses, dragons, floods, and Gilgamesh himself has three parents. I'd lend you mine but the clay is kind of brittle these days.

One time a TET poster got obsessed with the lolspeak word "haxx" and its derivatives. He tried to hackney it into every sentence for days. It was annoying. His peers snapped. There was so much blood.
