Yeah took these two bad boys with me for whenever I'm in the mood.

I also have the official Banshees biography but my partner, who's gone to the States to see her parents after almost 2 years, took it to read on the flight.

Only been to France twice but I've spent a significant proportion of my life in the French-speaking part of Canada. Still call it home and hope to return for good in a year or two.

Marie, I noticed some of your books are in German (or maybe Dutch or Swedish)? I have that reference grammar of Shakespearean language at home, waiting for when I have the time and inclination for a deep dive into The Bard...

French-Canadian, that's cool! Those books on my shelf are in Dutch I'm from Holland but currently live in England. The Shakespearian grammar is fun, and some editions like the Arden Shakespeare specifically refer to it, so that's nice

Not all of it... Actually the two Foucault books that I find the most fun I left at home cause I knew I wouldn't need them, both from 1963: his study of Raymond Roussel and Birth of the Clinique. He was still very close to avant-garde literature back then, very influenced by Bataille, Blanchot and Klossowski, and his writing had an edge which his later work often lacks, in my own humble opinion.

Still get the $40 Motorola TracFone myself and then I break it after a few months and buy another. I use the old phones as battery chargers and swap out the batteries. The older I get the less I can try to spin this as just being eccentric and not just being terminally cheap.

I know I'm cheap but there's wireless internet at my home and my work and I don't really spend much time elsewhere so a non-Tracfone would just be a pointless extra expense. I am glad I upgraded to a real smart phone though. I don't know how I lived all this time without podcasts.

50$ gets you unlimited everything... There's no incentive for me to even buy internet I just use my data

Wouldn't mind having a better camera etc though... Maybe I'll get a nicer Android eventually but I can't be bothered with an Iphone or anything that I can't use pre paid service on. At&t can eat a dick.
