Welcome to the PK's
"Women, Snakes and Stalkers" is a collection of book covers from the PK (Indo-Iranian languages and literatures) section of the University of Chicago's Regenstein library. Since I can't read any of the book titles, I make up my own interpretations of what's going on.
Other projects
- Crescat Graffiti, Vita Excolatur: Confessions of the Regenstein Library - library graffiti at the University of Chicago
As for me, I'm Quinn.
