Oh, I know.... It's a bit of a problem as I work at a bookstore and I'm surrounded by these amazing books every day. I just can't help it! So... Funny thing happened today... Sometimes I check out the old books they sell at my local library, but I haven't found any good ones before. So today there was The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins, The Eastern Stories and Lord Jim by Joseph Conrad and The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay. I was so happy! When I was trying to pay for them the librarian looked confused and said that he had never seen those books before. Someone had brought their old books for me to find! So I paid 2 € for them! YAYYY! (I mean the books that I bought weren't from the library's old collections, some customer had just left his/her books there. But I'm happy he/she did! )

Haha!!! Tell me how you like the Woman in White!! I will! I just had to buy one more book in August (maybe I'll buy a little less in September... ? ;D). So I got "Time Out" 1000 Books to Change Your Life. I LOVE all kinds of booklists and I always read book reviews and this is a book with both of them combined!

Today I went to Strand and got:
Writings from The New Yorker 1927-1976 by E. B. White A Movable Feast by Ernest Hemingway Pontoon by Garrison Keillor Dave Barry's History of the Millennium (so far) by Dave Barry Hocus Pocus by Kurt Vonnegut
I was really excited, because I found the Garrison Keillor and the Dave Barry book in the half price review section, and they haven't even been officially released yet!

The release date for Dave Barry's History of the Millennium is Sep 17th and for Pontoon Sep 11th (according to Amazon.co.uk) so you really were in luck zeldafitzgerald! So I've bought some books again.... The New York Trilogy by Paul Auster The Tenth Circle by Judi Picoult Boyhood by J.M. Coetzee Youth by J.M. Coetzee So those were for me, and then I bought one to my mom (What I loved by Siri Hustvedt).
