I have an algebra book just in case I have to take a test. I cannot remember how to do equations. That is just the truth. There are two pages identified by a paper clip that is all I need to get me back on my game. I also have my English 101 grammar book to look up stuff. We did not do grammar in that class because the prof thought we should already know that stuff. Instead we did British Lit. We all just looked at each other blankly. Remember, this was first semester of college. Anyway, other than a few law school books (not casebooks) I sold them all. In LS books that actually talk about the current law are called horn books. I don't know why. Almost all of my professors used the Socratic method of teaching which meant we had no book except huge casebooks to read 1000s of pages of cases and be prepared to argue either side of them in class. Oh, it tires me to think about it. But it also reminds me of some really fun times with the other poor lost exhausted students.
