Biblinsanity

[kestrell]

There was an out-of-print paper book not available in ebook format that I really wanted to read, so I ordered a paper copy intending to scan it, but it's been a month since it shipped, and it still hasn't showed up (I blame this ont he fact that the title is _The Wandering Scholars_).

So I did a little more googling and found out that there is an online collection which had it available for reading online, but, as I am not a member of the university collective it offers access to, I could only read it one page at a time.

I just spent the past three hours copying and pasting the etext together, page by page. It is 330 pages long, so that's about, um, a hundred pages an hour.

Am I the only person who commits this kind of insanity?

...trailing their herrings behind them. Have you heard of the herring game? Does this suggest that French surrealists are period?

Could the other person be someone I know? I've been babbling about this book and the vagantes for over a month. Also, it turns out that Vagantes is the name of the conference for grad students who are studying the middle ages. I would have changed my major if I had known that.
