ateolf | Book Sale

Mary Beth and I went up to the library for the fall book sale. In the mail sale part I picked up a few books: The Dirty Dust by Máirtín Ó Cadhain, Anywhere but Here by Mona Simpson, I Married a Communist by Philip Roth, and Pierrot Mon Ami by Raymond Queneau. Then I went across the way to their Second Editions bookstore and I got some more: A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again by David Foster Wallace, Omoo by Herman Melville, Kokoro by Natsume Soseki, The Bridge on the Drina by Ivo Andrić, The 42nd Parallel by John Dos Passos, Ben, in the World by Doris Lessing, Suite Française by Irène Némirovsky, Mumbo Jumbo by Ishmael Reed, and The Onion: Dispatches from the Tenth Circle. Mary Beth and I had been moving around in different areas and after I dropped off my haul, she went into Second Editions so I accompanied her back in and while there a second time, discovered one more book to pick up I'd missed before: Rock 'n' Roll by Tom Stoppard. A little later we ran some errands. In the later part of the afternoon I went out to try to get a new suit. I did get the suit, but the correct size is on order and should be there within a week or so so I don't have it yet. And I guess that's about it for now.
