I love the internet

God I love the internet.

I felt a random craving to learn about historical Azerbaijan and the general Caucasus region (as one does). 

I was able to immediately find and download a German ethnography written in the 1850s about the Caucausus. 

I'm in South Korea right now where it's hard to even find bestsellers in English, let alone obscure German ethnographies about the Caucasus.

Until the internet, I would have had to live near an English university library and even then, it would take money, time, and effort to go acquire this obscure book. Many uni libraries might not even have the book.

And after all of that, I'd have to give it back! 

Thank you, Internet.

Where would us nerds be without you to satisfy our random intellectual cravings?
