Library Haul

The bookshelves here are full of really old & really beautiful
copies. It's exactly what you'd want in a library.

Today, I went to two libraries and actually picked up a few books, instead of just wandering around like I did yesterday. Still not sure how they've organized things, but I did find most of what I was looking for. Asked for help in locating a specific item, but it seems the system is "if you can't find it yourself, fill out a form and we'll get to it in the next hour." This was only at the main university library. Each department, or faculty, has their own library, as well, and the librarians in my faculty's library were nice and helpful.

"It is a truth, universally acknowledged, that a single man in
possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife."

So, here's what I picked up:

My haul

The European Union: A Very Short Introduction by John Pinder and Simon Usherwood. I'm currently taking a class on the EU in International Politics. It's the first class on the EU I've taken, my knowledge on the subject was pretty limited to start with, and it's a Master's course. Hopefully, this will give me some much needed background information.
Theogony & Works and Days by Hesiod & Daphnis and Chloe by Longus. A booktuber I recently discovered reminded me that while I read and am familiar with many classics, there are writings even more classical. Looking to expand my horizons; I like the Greek material I've already read, so these should be a good escape from my homework readings.
The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco. Another book I found on booktube (huzzah!) and one that I've been looking foward to reading since I heard about it. Found it in the library by accident; just browsing through shelves when its Estonian version caught my eye (since I can translate that much; all the books in languages which use the Latin alphabet are intersperced). There were two copies in English... But for now one is mine! I might add this to my October Halloween themed reading list.
Geopolitics and Expertise by Merje Kuus & The European Union and Its Eastern Neighbours by Elena Korosteleva. Both of these are to help with a presentation I'm giving in my EU class on Thursday, the latter is a recommended reading suggestion from my instructor, and hopefully the former will help me grasp one of my presentation topics that is just not clicking.

Books and artistic dinner shot.

This should definitely fill some time while I await my laptop's return from the shop (which should be tomorrow; I can last that long without it, right?). I've already gone through a couple books on marketing for social media, and several chapters of a book on world domination, and another on cooking.
And now that my laptop is back, here are the pictures!

Me & Oscar Wilde! From the monument to 2 Wildes. There's
one in Tartu, and another in Galway.

From my reading of Daphnis and Chloe: "when she did not know
the way, music had shown her the way."
