So I&#8217;d hoped the donor had just misfiled them, and that I could find the cover for <em>If You Love Me, Let Me Know<\/em> with <em>Olivia<\/em> inside.<\/p>\n<p>Alas, no.<\/p>\n<p>I did buy additional albums, including Newton-John&#8217;s <em>Come On Over<\/em>.  Eleven additional albums, which puts me at 42 for the week.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what I got:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/bsgfx\/gbh98.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/bsgfx\/gbh98.jpg\" width=\"425\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Books include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Poor Richard&#8217;s Alamanack<\/em>, a collection of Ben Franklin&#8217;s best sayings from the periodical.<\/li>\n<li><em>The Year 1000<\/em>, a book about what normal life was like in Britain in 1000 AD.<\/li>\n<li><em>The Stephen King Companion<\/em> since I&#8217;ve started a 1000 page Stephen King book, naturally I expect I&#8217;ll want to read about Stephen King when I&#8217;m done with his novel.<\/li>\n<li><em>The Red Badge of Courage<\/em> in the Reader&#8217;s Digest edition.  Not the condensed edition.<\/li>\n<li>Three Classics Club titles, including Locke&#8217;s <em>On Politics and Education<\/em>, Bradford&#8217;s <em>History of Plymouth<\/em>, and Swift&#8217;s <em>Gulliver&#8217;s Travels<\/em>, of which I only needed the last.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I got three films:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Jackie Chan&#8217;s <em>Rumble in the Bronx<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><em>Wonder Boys<\/em> starring Michael Douglas, Tobey Maguire, Katie Holmes, and some red boots.<\/li>\n<li><em>Muppets From Space<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additionally, I got three sets of university courses on CD, including The Teaching Company&#8217;s <em>Origins of Great Civilizations<\/em> and <em>Greece and Rome<\/em> as well as The Modern Scholar&#8217;s <em>A History of Ancient Israel<\/em>.  The Friends of the Springfield-Greene County Library book sale often has these courses pretty cheap, but the key is to pay attention to what each binder contains.  This time out, they marked each binder $10, but some courses are in library binders, where only two discs of a course are in the binder and a whole course might have seven binders.  That would be $70 versus $10.<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;ve got a few things to read, a few things to watch, and a whole lot more to listen to.  And I&#8217;ve avoided the siren song of half price day today and expect I&#8217;ll evade the siren song of bag day on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Because, believe it or not, I am running out of places to put books here at Nogglestead.  <em>Until I build my stand-alone library building.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I went about an hour early before my volunteer shift started at the Friends of the Springfield-Greene County Library book sale.
