AUC Press

So I got my American University in Cairo Press catalog the other day. No, I never requested it, it just decided to show up on my doorstep one day, after I applied for the Fulbright. And before I applied at the library there (twice, I might add) (they haven't heard the last from me).

It was one of those things that seemed like a sign, but CLEARLY was not. Anyway, I was looking it over today at work, and of course, every single book that I would be interested in ordering (which by the way, I am currently at their website and they don't have these listed there---only the ones available outside of Egypt) you can only purchase in Egypt or the Middle East.

This frustrates me to no end. Of course, I could ask one of my friends over there to buy them and send them to me. But still... ugh... and the funny part is, that they are books that are pitched as being enlightening for other cultures. But we can't get them here.

It's not like I haven't been trying to get there. I have. Stories for another time.
