Now, the discount shelf is my favorite place to meander around in book shops. It is full of the insane, weird, misfit books.* The books that NO ONE wants to read and can be bought for about $5. They may have defects, typos, damage, or just be really sucky books.** This is where i found my lovely mythology encyclopedia for $9.99.
It is very heavy and has not just Greek and Roman mythology but Celtic and Asian mythology. So, today i armed myself with sticky notes and a pen and began reading. every myth that i found that had some relevance to a play, movie, book, or show i have ever seen or heard of, I marked. And i was VERY surprised at the amount of mythology that is present in our everyday society. Soon my book became like this:

An Example.
so, yes i am a freak and yes, i am a nerd.
You know you want me,
