As previously stated, I attended the Book- & Library con in Gothenburg this Thursday. I thought I’d recount some of that experience here for the benefit of the ‘scryers’ of the TwilightShadows.
Staying the night with two girls…
The trip was paid for by the department I attend, the Department for Culture Studies, but of course we [...]

I recently began a course in the history of handwritten texts, and I must say it has made me think a lot about communication.

Yesterday I partook in the annual get together at the Uni where we are told that people who study the humanities can indeed be both useful and worth the money in a corporate environment.
