Memoirs From Fairyland

I have decided that sci fi is evil. This requires so much freaking work!  I have a book list of things that I need to research that's expensive. The library doesn't have them for some stupid reason and they're in the twenty-five to thirty dollar range a book; there are, for the record, five books. Their topics range from computer science to managing a hospital to the history of Rome and I need MONEY! It's not like these are "on a whim" books. I need the stupid things! I already have one book that I need to use for it and I ordered one of them (so the list technically numbered seven at one point) and one of the books I may be able to find a suitable replacement for, but the ones that I don't have are the ones that I really need. Damn my need to have some measure of realism!

Androids, you better appreciate this.
