There are few things I enjoy more than book shopping. I went to three bookstores yesterday. Here's the new inventory:
The Monk - Matthew Lewis
Exemplary Stories - Miguel de Cervantes
13 Albatrosses (or, Falling of the Mountain) - Donald Harington
The Grapes of Wrath - John Steinbeck
Travels with Charley - John Steinbeck
But the real joy was today. I drove down to Three Rivers and went to the bookstore there. I spent damn near two hours prowling throught he stacks and came up with:
Tropic of Cancer - Henry Miller
Tropic of Capricorn - Henry Miller
The Tenth Man - Graham Greene
Dune - Frank Herbert
Earthly Powers - Anthony Burgess
Keep the Aspidistra Flying - George Orwell
The Mouse on the Moon - Leonard Wibberly
The Mating Season - P.G. Wodehouse
The Chaplains Raid - Ric Hardman
Being There - Jerzy Kosinski
Strange Life of Ivan Osikin - P.D. Ouspensky
The Poorhouse Fair - John Updike
Flappers and Philosophers - F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Pickwick Papers - Charles Dickens
My Life as a Man - Philip Roth
The Odyssey - Nikos Kazantzakis
The Death of Virgil - Herman Broch
Once There was a War - John Steinbeck
The Winter of Our Discontent - John Steinbeck
The Pastures of Heaven - John Steinbeck
In Dubious Battle - John Steinbeck
That should keep me busy for the next couple months. The beautiful thing is the 21-book haul I made today only cost me $32.86....how's that for cheap.
Oh, also yesterday I ordered my ticket for the Reds/Indians game. I will be in the left field bleachers on June 26th watching my Reds stomp the living hell out of those bastard Indians!

And yeah, they did win. Up 3-1.
I have some friends in Midland, so it won't be too terrible.
