<\/a><\/p>\nSome of the highlights:<\/p>\n
- \n
- The Cross and the Switchblade<\/em> and Beyond the Cross and the Switchblade<\/em>, two books about being a priest at a church in a bad part of town. This was a genre of television for a while if I remember, and the first title was made into a movie starring Pat Boone. I know because the sale had two copies, and I opted for the movie tie-in edition with full color photos.<\/li>\n
- Two humorous western novels, Hey, Cowgirl, Need a Ride<\/em> and Hey, Cowboy, Wanna Get Lucky?<\/em> by Baxter Black. The Republic Monitor<\/em> used to run a newspaper column by him, I think.<\/li>\n
- Two by Isaac Asimov, Lecherous Limericks<\/em> and Adding a Dimension<\/em>.<\/li>\n
- The Deep Range<\/em> by Arthur C. Clarke. I don’t particularly like Clarke, but last night, while volunteering at the localer Friends of the Library Sale, I saw someone with a stack of Clarke paperbacks, and I guess I’m easily influenced.<\/li>\n
- A book of Jack Kirby’s work from the late 1940s before he went to Marvel.<\/li>\n
- GI Joe: The Story Behind the Legend<\/em> which is about the toy and not part of the fictional canon.<\/li>\n
- Flawed Dogs<\/em>, Berkeley Breathed’s young adult novel. Note this is in my stack, not the young young adults’.<\/li>\n
- The Incas<\/em>, a history of the Incas appropriately enough.<\/li>\n
- The C.S. Lewis Handbook<\/em>.<\/li>\n
- Faust<\/em>.<\/li>\n
- Ernie’s America<\/em>, a collection of travel columns by Ernie Pyle from before his writing in World War II.<\/li>\n
- How to Find Missing Persons<\/em>. Probably from the pre-Internet age.<\/li>\n
- The Best TV and Trivia Quiz Book Ever<\/em>. I hope I fare better than the The TV Theme Song Trivia Book<\/em><\/a>.<\/li>\n
- The Starcraft Archive<\/em>, a collection of StarCraft fiction.<\/li>\n
- The Medium is the Massage<\/em> (not a typo) by Marshall McLuhan and Quentin Fiore.<\/li>\n
- Wolverine: Weapon X<\/em>, a novel.<\/li>\n
- A couple westerns, Two Pistols South of Bradwood<\/em> and The Sharpshooter<\/em>. Both from different series old enough to not have a lot of boom chocka chocka.<\/li>\n
- E.B. White’s The Second Tree from the Corner<\/em>.<\/li>\n
- Four great plays by Checkov.<\/li>\n
- Andre Norton’s The Starman’s Son<\/em>. Probably not related to the Starman<\/a><\/em> television series.<\/li>\n
- Doctor Who and the Day of the Daleks<\/em>, one of the old Dr. Who books from the 1980s.<\/li>\n
- Two Ross Thomas novels, Cast a Yellow Shadow<\/em> and If You Can’t Be Good<\/em>.<\/li>\n
- A book about medieval myths.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
So yesterday morning, I played hooky from the dojo to go to the Friends of the Clever Library Book Sale down in the fire station in Clever.
