Reading Mrs. Jordan's Profession, which I bought for $2.99 remaindered when visiting [livejournal.com profile] raithen. It's great, but is making me very grateful for modern innovations like, e.g., birth control and women's rights. I don't think I'd make a good time traveller; I'm too fond of:

indoor plumbing (although they were starting to install baths and showers)
effective dentistry, optometry/ophthalmology, and anesthesia
the germ theory of disease, along with sterile technique and antibiotics
the vote

yep. those are good things.

anesthesia

Oh goodness yes, how wonderfully far we've come! Though I'm still breathlessly awaiting the hypospray.

I'm still awaiting that glowing gadget they just wave over damaged tissue and it heals...

Engineers, I have faith in you! Make it happen!

I know, I should be grateful for desktop publishing and running water.

would you believe I don't remember you buying that one? Though it MAY have something to do with the myriad books we both bought that week...

It was at A&B Sound. You were probably distracted. ;)
