Read through a selection of chapters from Lakoff & Johnson's
Metaphors We Live By. I'd read it before, long ago as a linguistics graduate student. Now I'm reading it for a class on human development as part of my doctoral program in education. Good stuff.
We had to purchase a course packet for $120 to cover copyright clearances for all the articles and chapters the professor wanted us to read. I promptly scanned my copy and converted to image-based PDF (I don't have the energy or time right now to do the OCR thing) and I'm reading the articles on my iLiad, which is a huge improvement over having to lug around the printed version. I wish I could have bought it that way to begin with.
