I did buy a couple I already owned because they have better covers; I also bought a couple that I think I might have, but wasn’t sure, so I bought them just in case. I did buy some new to me artists, though, such as Frankie Carle and The Three Suns, so I might have discovered something I really like. What I have re-discovered, or soon will, is that I need to build some record shelving, stat.<\/p>\n
I got a couple of Great Courses\/The Teaching Company\/Modern Scholar courses because this FOL sale priced them down. Instead $30 \/ $15 on half-price day, these courses were marked like $5 \/ $2.50, so I bought a couple even though I bought a bunch of them last weekend<\/a>.<\/p>\n
The three I got this weekend include:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Philosophy as a Guide to Living<\/em><\/li>\n
- Moral Descision Making<\/em><\/li>\n
- The World of George Orwell<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Please note I did not buy every course I saw, just most of them. This is called “restraint.”<\/p>\n
As for books, I got:<\/p>\n
- \n
- More Book Lust<\/em> (signed by the author)<\/li>\n
- Poems<\/em> by Gerald Manley Hopkins<\/li>\n
- Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog<\/em> by Dylan Thomas<\/li>\n
- Thirteen Stories<\/em> by Eudora Welty (so hopefully I will learn the difference between her and Willa Cather<\/a>)<\/li>\n
- Ozark Mountain Humor<\/em> by W.K. McNeil<\/li>\n
- Laura Ingalls Wilder<\/em>, a biography.<\/li>\n
- The Shepherd of the Hills<\/em>; I have a very old printing of this Harold Bell Wright classic (especially near Branson), but they’re not reading copies, and I have not read this book since I was a kid. Wait, I probably already have a copy; I know I have a copy of The Clinch Hollow Story<\/em>, which was written by the long-running actor who portrayed the Shepherd in the play of the same name.<\/li>\n
- The Essays of E.B.White<\/em><\/li>\n
- The Tao of Peace<\/em> which I bought because it has “tao” in the title, but no Elvis<\/a><\/li>\n
- The Riverside Shakespeare<\/em> which looks to be a slightly larger font\/print than the edition that’s been idle on my side table since early this year<\/a><\/li>\n
- Art books that cover the works of artists Mary Cassatt, John Singer Sargeant, and Anders Zorn<\/li>\n
- Croutons on a Cow Pie<\/em>, poems by Baxter Black. I have a couple of his novels around here, but I am pretty sure I’ll get through this thin collection first.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
So there we go: With the dangerous book sale season behind us, I’ve not bought more books than I can read in a year. But I should probably jump on them quickly just the same. I am most eager to delve into the art books first as I kinda watch football games, so you can probably expect to see some twee commentary on Cassatt this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
On Tuesday, I helped set up for this sale, which meant I unboxed the books for the Art tables and sorted the Animal books by animal type. Little did I know that those who volunteer on Tuesday get to shop immediately when the book sale is set up. So I didn’t have my checkbook, but […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3334,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23735","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23735","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3334"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23735"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23735\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23739,"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23735\/revisions\/23739"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23735"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23735"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
