I'd be happy if I could just get my hands on a copy of Greek Religion by Walter Burkert neutral

I was lucky when I got it. I was broke, but pawing at it in the bookstore and my brother bought it for me.

The priestly brother too. mwha ha ha.

Holy cow that's a lot of books. o.o

I think it's time to update my Amazon wishlist.

EDIT: Printed out the list and took it to Borders.

They didn't have a single one. Argh.

Nuri: as Pragmatic as the Ancient Athenians.

Yeah, Borders sucks like that. We have a Walden Books here, which is part of Borders, they never have the book I'm lookin' for. Thankfully, There is not only a Books a Million, but also a Barns and Noble in a city close to me. I know I can order the books I want from there if need be (and if I ever get the cash -_-)

*sigh* I have a bit of a space issue. We've just recently had three more family memebers move in with us. Space was already and problem in this two bedroom apartment, but now there are seven people and seven people's worth of crap in this tiny apartment. Now, I'd go outside worship, but I can't really do that eather, because I'm worried some idiot will complain that I'm worshiping satan behind the apartment building. Any advice?

That sounds workable, though it'll have to be on the front porch. xd I'll have to do research on the Chthonic gods.
