Book report
The back right corner of the Goodwill store is where the books are. There are shelves against the wall on adjacent sides of the corner and two free-standing shelves. The books are loosely organized by subject and the prices are pretty darn good. It's a tempting section of the store. There is also a big table - maybe 4x8 feet - the top of which is devided into bins with 6" deep sides. The bins hold LPs, movies on sale and books that are on sale. The prices on those books have been lowered yet again. The paperbacks are 33 cents and the hardcovers 99 cents. Well, you can imagine how tempting the bins are.
The other day I bought an over-sized paperback out of the bins. It had nice cover art and the teaser on the back cover convinced it was worth taking a chance on for 33 cents.
The book is Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin. I think it would be called fantasy. Whatever it is, I will finish reading it today and I'm here to tell you that Mark Helprin can write. The book is pure entertainment.
