Freelance work is a financial roller coaster but lucky for me, I’ve come out ahead in the last couple paychecks. Thanks to a gift certificate to a local used bookstore and to finding several books for sale online at less than $0.25 (not including shipping), I’ve been able to add all kinds of great reading material to my bookshelves.

In no particular order:

• The Hymns of Sankara by T.M.P Mahadevan
• A History of Celibacy by Elizabeth Abbott
• Rasa: Love Relationships in Transcendence and Aesthetic Vedanta: The Sacred Path of Passionate Love by Swami B.V. Tripurari
• Medusa’s Hair by Gananath Obeyesekere
• Sri-Mannarayananiyam translated by S. N. Sastri
• The Miracle Plays of Mathura by Norvin Hein

Whew! So much good stuff. Good thing the cat has it under control.
