A friend gave me a copy of the New Yorker that has an article about Lucretius and his two thousand year old epic poem, "On the Nature of Things." I think I am in trouble. Fascinating, and I must know more. The article tempted me with other things, either never known, or long forgotten, that now I must rediscover for myself.
We recently embarked on a self directed pursuit of the sources of law, and I have decided to investigate Shariah law, or Islamic law, and its roots. Which explains why I now have my very own copy of the Quran. And while I should be working on my Bankruptcy final, I can't quite tear myself away from these discoveries just yet.
If only I had been so curious as an undergrad years ago. What wasted time and years!
