Among my purchases, you’ll find:<\/p>\n
- \n
- The Battle of Midway Island<\/i>, a paperback history of the World War II battle.\n<\/li>\n
- Nine To Five<\/i>, the paperbackization of the movie. I saw that movie within the last two years, I think. Maybe three.\n<\/li>\n
- A Russian\/English\/English\/Russian dictionary. True story, in the middle 1980s, while in middle school, I tinkered with teaching myself Russian. Just in case they invaded, I wanted to have wisecracks they’d understand as I partook in the street to street fighting in my trailer park. This was before my physics class that would teach me that street to street fighting in a trailer park would not leave much time for the scrappy Wolverinesish middle schoolers to make cracks. Still, I got one now because I didn’t yet have one.\n<\/li>\n
- Wisconsin: Off the Beaten Path<\/i> just so I can see where I’ve been and where I should go.\n<\/li>\n
- Cotswold Mistress<\/i> a novel about something. It was a fifty cents, that’s my excuse. Also, I’ve been jonesing for some acquisitions, I guess.\n<\/li>\n
- See, I Told You So<\/i>, another copy of Rush Limbaugh’s second book, ca. the middle nineties. Funny that he hasn’t written more, but I guess book royalties might not be a good return on his investment vis-a-vis other things he can do.\n<\/li>\n
- Buckley: The Right Word<\/i>, a vocabulary builder, I think, based on the work of William F. Buckley, Jr.\n<\/li>\n
- Complete Works<\/i> by William Shakespeare in the Walter J. Black Classics Club edition. Note that I paid fifty cents for it. You Google searchers who inherited a pile from your predecessors and want me to tell you they’re worth a lot of money, take note that you can get them for fifty cents each or a dollar each at garage sales and book fairs and about five bucks at used book stores that bother to stock them. They’re not old, they’re not rare. Get a job.\n<\/li>\n
- Excessive Joy Injures the Heart<\/i>. I think it’s one of those chick novels. It had a cool title and it was a ha’buck.\n<\/li>\n
- Bruges and Its Beauties<\/i>, a guidebook to some city somewhere. I’d better set a bit from a suspense novel I write in it sometime, or I will have wasted this quarter.\n<\/li>\n
- Several Sunset paperbacks about fixing up your home. I got something about decks, something about wiring, and something about painting and wallpapering.\n<\/li>\n
- The Great Lakes<\/i> and Florida<\/i>, two photographic journey coffeetable books because I’ve been to both places and because I can probably browse them during baseball games.\n<\/li>\n
- Five CDs of artwork, including 2 Renaissance collections, 1 Impressionism collection, and the Vatican’s collection. I think they might be art history things. They were like a buck each, so probably worth it.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
So there I have them. A bunch more books to read when I’m done with 600 page academic history library books.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Yesterday (yes, Wednesday), my beautiful wife and I sneaked off to a church rummage sale alone together, so we had some prime browse time and a chance to pick up some books.
