To be able to say "Noggle," you first must be able to say "Nah."
Two and a half years ago, I picked up this book ABC Books after having read about the author in Garden and Gun magazine–a 2016 issue, which I was then four years late in reading. When I did my Good Book Hunting post, I said I’d get to the author eventually, and that was only […]
Gentle reader, you might have noticed no Good Album Hunting or Good Book Hunting posts recently, even though the Friends of the Springfield-Greene County Library held its autumn book sale last week. I did not go. I alluded to this in book reports leading up to the event–that I might not go–but in the end, […]
Well, gentle reader, I asked in my Good Book Hunting post from this weekend if you could guess which of the books I would read first from the stack. It was this play, and maybe I should actually make a point of buying plays to read in hotel rooms when I travel; you might remember […]
Where the heck did I get this book? A quick search of Good Book Hunting posts does not yield a result. It does not have an ABC Books sticker. It does not have a price penciled on the first page which might indicate another used book store. I certainly did not buy it new as […]
Yeah, verily, some might think we worship cats at Nogglestead. We have several (three indoors these days, one outdoors, and another that comes around but has a day home or day job). We have statues of cats. We have paintings with cats in them. When one is at Nogglestead, one sees cats everywhere. Sometimes when […]
At Ace of Spades HQ, Perfesser Squirrel, who has taken over the Sunday Morning Book Thread after OregonMuse, PBUH, posts some recent book acquisitions: I had a major book haul this week. The university library in which I work (but I do not work for) had a book sale. Managed to walk away with 20 […]
I read Kung Fu: The Way of the Dragon; I read Kung Fu #2: Chains; I read Kung Fu #3: Superstition. So it would make sense for me to pick up this book, Kung Fu #4, ainna? Oh, but no: The first were tied into the David Carradine television series, as demonstrated by his picture […]
I bought this book at an undocumented trip to ABC Books (sometimes, as I mentioned, if I only end up with one or two books, I don’t make a special Good Book Hunting post for it since the hunting, in those cases, wasn’t particularly good). I spotted it in the local author sets, and I […]
I picked up this collection of poetry at ABC Books on one of the classified gift card runs this December. I didn’t do Good Book Hunting posts on them because I bought only a couple of books each time and a handful of gift cards. I mainly hang out in the martial arts, poetry, philosophy, […]
In a Good Book Hunting post in July 2018, I predicted: The real question is, which of these books will I read first (aside from Hundred Dollar Baby)? Probably the cartoons. How many will I have read by this time in 2020? Probably the cartoons. Analysis: FALSE. I’ll have to figure out where that collection […]
It’s been almost ten years since I read The Lord of the Rings. At that time, I said: This is not a comic book nor a 20th century American thriller. This, on the other hand, is a graphic novel adaptation of the one book that became three movies in the 21st century. It is a […]
It’s been two years since I read The Tao of Pooh, and I mentioned I had this book around somewhere, maybe. I’m not entirely sure if I found it or if I bought it in the interim, but its absence on the Good Book Hunting post in the interim suggests the former. Like the predecessor, […]
I got this book last week when I went to ABC Books for the Christmas gift cards. I did not do a full Good Book Hunting post on it because, gentle reader, I’m not sure if you even read them (or the blog book reports for that matter). But, if you’re interested, I got Little […]
I got this book at Rublecon last weekend. Rublecon is a small comic/toy convention held in Relics’ event center. I missed it last year because when I pulled into the parking lot, I could not find a parking space, and my family was reluctant participants anyway. This year, though, I wandered through the aisles. You […]
Patrice Lewis is getting ready to move, and she has a picture of most of her library boxed and ready to travel. As you might recall, gentle reader (because I bring it up over and over), when we moved from Old Trees to Nogglestead, we filled a 16′ PODS container with books and bookshelves. And […]
When I picked up this book at Hooked on Books last year, I might have though the book was authored by Sarah Silverman, who is a comedienne and might have collected stories of those who came before her (even though in the Good Book Hunting post, I got the author’s full name). I say I […]
I bought this book for a buck earlier this month, and I had the opportunity over the last couple of weeks to browse it over a couple of football games that I watched parts of because I’ve been disappointed in the Packers’ play this year. As I alluded to in the Good Book Hunting post, […]
I bought this book a couple of weeks ago and delved right into it. I hoped it would be a football browser, albeit something I could browse during night games to hopefully not expose the nude model photographed on the back to my children. But it turns out this book has a lot of text […]
Look, ma, I made a meme. Well, I didn’t make a meme. I put text on an image already made into a meme. But that’s what passes for creativity in the 21st century. So how did this come about? Well, I’ve started reading Hagakure: The Book of the Samaurai which I bought at the end […]
I took a quick look at an old post (Good Book Hunting: August 27, 2007, and I zoomed in on the picture of my to-read shelves in Old Trees, and I thought, Man, I need to get to reading some of those books. Click for full size I see a bunch of them on the […]
