Last Pages
Going to Barnes & Noble is cool. They have every new magazine, the freshest BU gear, floors of books, chill spots to read, lattes, 7's, whatever. Better spot: the library. Libraries are ANCIENT and they have the weirdest and coolest stuff in them that you'll never be able to peep at even the best bookstores. Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs (I don't know what's on that myspace page, it froze my browser... maybe someone can check it out and let me know) may be cool and all, but I'm gonna say literature hasn't been the same since "computers were invented" and everybody with a
became a potential and actual author. By the way, I'm not well-read and I can't write. So libraries HAVE all these books that were put together by typewriters, string, glue, babies, the printing press, and woodcut blocks...oh and gold lettering. Every F'in dude who had something to say and actually busted his ass on a POS typewriter for the last 12,000 years has his book sitting in your library. It's true, look it up.
Mugar is the main library on the BU campus and today my mission in there turned into a little bit of a browsing expedition and I found some cool stuff. Here's the first edition of Last Pages. Last Pages will feature the conclusive or pertinent passages of random cool books that catch my eye. Wisdom for feast.

I always said that there was an attack on New England that I'd go hide out in the library stacks of my school. I'd probably be dead, but if not I would have a bunch of books to read. I don't know what I'd do for food, but I figure I could research something down there.
