I have ordered ALL THE BOOKS for purposes of research:

Detienne, Gardens of Adonis and The Cuisine of Sacrifice Among the Greeks
Edelstein, Asclepius: Collection and Interpretation of the Testimonies
Csordas, The Sacred Self and Embodiment and Experience
Ingold, Being Alive
Low, The Anthropology of Place and Space
Rivers, Medicine, Magic and Religion
Kleinmann, The Illness Narratives
and two volumes of Athenaeus, The Learned Banqueters.

Probably I should've got half of them months ago. But I haven't really been thinking straight. Or working smart.

(Also I have Jagannath and a couple of other things on order. But really I have spent FAR TOO MUCH MONEY.)

So maybe now I will make better progress? Who knows?! It is a mystery!

For me, one of the best things about graduate school was giving myself permission to buy any book even remotely connected with my thesis.

Having come in on the conversation only very recently, I'm curious to know what your research topic is.

Healing and the cult of Asklepios in antiquity 420BC-200CE: landscape and experience.

Or something along those lines.
