Sat, Oct. 23rd, 2004 12:50 amI was in a very good mood earlier today, mostly because my entire thought process consisted of: "Oooo, look at me in my new jeans! I have new jeans! Ooo, they're so nicely flared!"
Then I got my coupons and went to the bookstore and ended up with a ton of loot (it was fifty percent off history books! And children's mass markets. And assorted oversized and a lot of other stuff).
I got:
Ivan Morris, The World of the Shining Prince: Court Life in Ancient Japan
Eiko Ikegami, The Taming of the Samurai: Honorific Individualism and the Making of Modern Japan
William T. Rowe, Hankow: Commerce and Society in a Chinese City, 1796-1889 and Hankow: Conflict and Community in a Chinese City, 1796-1895
Thomas C. Smith, Native Sources of Japanese Industrialization, 1750-1920
Ramon H. Myers and Mark R. Peattie, eds., The Japanese Colonial Empire, 1895-1945
Marius B. Jansen, ed., Warrior Rule in Japan
Norman F. Cantor, In the Wake of the Plague: The Black Death and the World It Made
Frederick Hartt, History of Italian Renaissance Art (4th ed.)
Patricia MacLachlan, The Facts and Fictions of Minna Pratt, because I don't think![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
double_helix would take it too well if I kidnapped her copy, and I want one.
Rebecca Tingle, The Edge on the Sword
Margaret Mahy, Memory
Jane Yolen, The Wild Hunt
I find I am very snooty about picking up Asian (esp. Japanese) histories. I want blurbs on the back by authors I know or recognize, I want something from a university press in general, and I especially want good blurbs from the big Japan studies journals (Monumenta Nipponica, Journal of Japanese Studies and Journal of Asian Studies). I miss Gest Library.
Then we went home, and The Apprentice was playing in the background while I was LJ-ing, and watching that show just makes my blood rise. So I was complaining, and the boy was huffy because I highly dislike his show, and everything sort of went downhill from there. And I have an incredibly guilty feeling about dropping so much money this month -- additions to the work wardrobe, these books and the ones yesterday, and Lee's Comics is having a sale tomorrow. Perhaps I shall abstain all month for November and hit the library instead. Sigh. I buy way too many books.
