I had a bit of time over the weekend to browse a used bookstore. Not as much time as I would’ve liked (I can browse a used bookstore for many hours if allowed), but I did find some interesting stuff.<\/p>\n

\"rhapsody\"<\/p>\n

Didn’t have time to browse the film soundtracks, but I did snatch up some symphonic metal from the Italian band Rhapsody of Fire<\/em>. Their album The Frozen Tears of Angels<\/em> features narration from the late great Christopher Lee; his deep cinematic British voice compliments the fantastical metal very well. It’s a concept album that’s part of a larger saga of albums, none of which I have… yet.<\/p>\n

\"lesmiserables\"<\/p>\n

Also music related is the blu-ray of the 25th anniversary concert of Les Miserables<\/em>. I think it came on PBS or something once, but I missed it. But now I can watch it over and over!<\/p>\n

\"hugo\"<\/p>\n

Picked up a movie companion to one of my favorite films. Looking through it, it looked awfully familiar, but I double-checked my bookshelves and I don’t have it. I could swear I’ve browsed a copy of it somewhere else before though. Maybe there’s another copy somewhere else in the house? I have no idea…<\/p>\n

\"elantris\"<\/p>\n

I haven’t read Brandon Sanderson in a while, but I picked up Elantris<\/em> for someday.<\/p>\n

\"straub\"<\/p>\n

I’ve been reading Peter Straub’s Shadowland<\/em> recently and have been enjoying it very much, so I picked up pretty much all the Peter Straub I could find, which amounted to nine books. They’ll take me forever to read, but they all look interesting… I’ll probably dive into one after I finish Shadowland<\/em>…<\/p>\n

\"mozart\"<\/p>\n

Picked up some books on Mozart and classical music because I’m such a classy guy.<\/p>\n

\"pdqbach\"<\/p>\n

Finally, I happened upon a biography of one of the great classical composers who most music scholars, in their snooty snobbery, ignore completely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
