Haul of Books 2010: Stuff For Me v.24 (Derrida Edition)
I have a few more lovely books for school that I want to let you all know about, although it occurs to me that these may be of even less interest to most of you than they are to me, since they’re not even genre-based. But who am I to say what you’re all interested […]
