Books

Today's Book Amusements:
1. Two people have written books entitled G-d; A Biography (without the dash). I find this somewhat improbable.

2. There is a hebrew book by the title of Dubim VaYa'ar. After Lishma, this amuses me quite a bit. Once my binder arrives, I'll be able to cite the textual sorces, but- it's just such an strange and unbalanced story, and to make an idiom of it is just priceless.

3. Why can't the Library of Congress tell the difference between Hebrew and Yiddish?

Speaking of which, I know it's alot to ask, but wouldn't it be great if the massive collection of foreign language books at the Boston Public Library were in some kind of order?
