Book fair!
I have just returned from a local book fair, which means I bought things that would've cost me $20 at Barnes and Noble for about $1.
My quarry:
~ Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead - Tom Stoppard (Yay! I've always wanted to read this, actually.)
~ 'Rommel?' 'Gunner Who?' - Spike Milligan (For those who don't know, he's one of the Goons.)
~ The Wrong Box - Robert Louis Stevenson (This was made into a film in the 1960s with Michael Caine, Peter Cook, Dudley Moore and Peter Sellers, amongst other people. That is obviously why I bought the book. For screenshots of the film, I suggest checking the gallery at this site.)
~ The Confessions - Jean-Jacques Rousseau (I had to get some Enlightenment literature, too. I just can't leave bookstores without that sort of thing. It's Harris' fault.)
~ The Burglar in the Rye - Lawrence Block (Yay, Bernie Rhodenbarr!)
~ The Penguin Dictionary of Modern Humorous Quotations - compiled by Fred Metcalf (I only got it because it had the Pythons and Peter and Dudley in it. Really.)
~ Slaves of Obsession - Anne Perry (Victorian crime, yay! Actually, this one takes place in 1861, two years before Londinium starts.)
~ Heretic - Bernard Cornwell (One of my favorite authors, as he gave me Richard Sharpe.)
~ Eminent Victorian Women - Elizabeth Longford (Like I need more reference books. Actually, this one seemed pretty interesting.)
I am much pleased with my new purchases, but I never have a place for them. Eh, I'll make shelf space somehow.
