Announcements

 

Cheap Books Today

  • Emily Brower writes,

Baylor University Press is having a $1 book sale today from 9-4. Baylor UP primarily publishes in religion, theology, etc., so most of the books will be along those lines, but also has a decent number of religion & lit books.  The Press is located at 4thand Daughtrey (in the cream-ish brick building that looks like a bank).

  • If you can’t bring yourself to essentially steal someone else’s work, like paying $1 for a book, you probably don’t belong in this business. So go get some practice.

19CRS, Today, 3:30–4:30pm, ABL Lecture Hall

  • Bill Boelhower (English, LSU): “Atlantic Studies in Theory and Practice: The Case of Frederick Douglass’s The Heroic Slave
  • Did some research. Found a missing article. And some italics. Made a big difference. Don’t let that stop you from attending.

Upcoming Events

 

Medieval Movie Night, Tomorrow, 7pm, Marshalls’ (2500 Marketplace Dr. #837; gate code: 5335)

  • The Lion in Winter
  • See attachment for additional details about this MRRS-hosted event
  • Celebrating the Middle Ages on a couch in front of the television with central heating, indoor plumbing, and microwave popcorn is all fine and good, but for any of you with romantic notions about reliving them, you’re gonna to want to talk to Devin McCain about the laying to rest of William the Conqueror.

MRRS, Fri., 22 Nov., 3:30-4:30pm, ABL

  • Graduate Panel
  • Or, if Dr. Barcus were punctuating it, Graduate, Panel

That’s all I got for now. But if you get to that dreadful state where you can’t find any legitimate excuse to not be working on your seminar paper, email me, and we’ll try to find something else to put on your plate.
