"When I get a little money, I buy books; when I get a little more money, I buy food."

Currently under my pillow are: Magic From The Soul by Rene Lavand, The Psychology of Influence by Cialdini, The Con Man as a Literary Convention, and Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, the winner of the Man Booker International Prize
