bibliography trolling

[truepenny]

heres_luck has given me apricot twists.
*swoons*

Experiencing some difficulty in the reading, viz. I keep falling asleep. I can't have used to do this, because I would not have made it through my double-major undergraduate career, nor my Master's degree, nor the two years of Ph.D. coursework, NOR, god help us all, my Prelims exam, if I'd had this Pavlovian reaction to homework. Clearly this is a late-blooming development, and I can't say I care for it.

Anyway, in the interests of me not dozing off over Duffy, I'm offering a public service. These are the results of trolling through the bibliography of The Mummy Congress, i.e., books & articles I'm going to be looking for in the future. She has a foul bibliographic style (I think it's APA, but happily my days of being able to identify styles at a glance have passed), so blame her for that, not me.

I'm being abominably long-winded today. Sorry about that.
