I'm glad you like the topic. All posts will be tagged as "booklist," so once you pass the bar exam you can see them all at the same time and give yourself a graduation present! And as for destroying the joy...yeah, I hear ya. It's funny though, hearing "eristic" didn't bring up those junior-high mythology units for me at all. I think it's because the D'Aulaires got to me first. The illustrations are seriously a thing to behold--Google Books doesn't show content for D'Aulaires but Amazon has a couple excerpts for when you want a distraction. Hurray!

Next on the list: Modern Scientific Evidence - Forensics. 2) A certain seventh grade English teacher of ours destroyed any joy I could get out of Greek mythology. However, I like this blog topic! Good books are gold. I would hop right on over to Amazon and buy this…except:
