Mmmmm smell of old books

Jun 16, 2008 14:32

 So this weekend and today have been the weekend and one day of books.  On Saturday
wondervixen and I found a garage sale of old books.  I picked up 3 books all from around the turn of the century.

:P  No not our most recent one.  :P
One quote book, one from an author I have heard of but have never read and one that is completely new to me.  I've never heard of the title or author.

Then again today, the books days continued.  The College of Idaho is having a book sale from their library.  I think I picked up 8 to 10 more books.  Some classics like Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (one of my favorite stories ever), The Red Badge of Courage (also a fav) and Jane Austin's Complete Works.  I also picked up a couple of books I had never heard of but sounded interesting.  A fiction book about 3 woman and different perspectives of a marriage happening in their family.  A biography about explores who seem to had great adventures in egypt.  A fictional story about a man who is retired, sick and goes on an adventure of self discovery.  So this summer will be the summer of dusty books and good literature.  Also if any Boise types are interested, the book sale goes til Thursday.
