Review of a new book about William James and the Society for Psychical Research, in Salon. I would recommend it to whoever it was I was trying to convince of the awesomeness of the nineteenth century, on Saturday night (Eric maybe?) You have to watch a site pass to see the article, but the nineteenth century is totally worth it.

"When the fate of the human race or your own poor broken heart hangs in the balance, it's hard to be objective about anything."
Ain't that the truth.
I didn't mean to imply that the 19th century wasn't worth a damn; it is wonderful, really. But I just don't have the energy to make sense of it, at least not until 9am tomorrow.
Yeah. That's really SO TRUE. It's almost like it was said by a stoner.
We'll all be nineteenth centurying together tomorrow afternoon. I had lunch today w/ Shirley and Allison, the other TA. Apparently there will be lectures on both the Salem Witch Trials and John Brown's raid, two of my very favorite topics.
