I managed to get:<\/p>\n
- \n
- The Circuit-Riding Combat Chaplain<\/i>, a self-published book about being a chaplain in the Korean War.\n<\/li>\n
- Peter the Great<\/i>, a biography.\n<\/li>\n
- Culture Warrior<\/i>, a preening tome, no doubt, by Bill O’Reilly.\n<\/li>\n
- The Hundred Year Dash<\/i> by George Burns.\n<\/li>\n
- The Death of Ethics in America<\/i>, a book whose title indicates it was written during the process. A book written now would probably be Ethics Are Dead in America<\/i>.<\/ul>\n
I spent the rest of the day expressing disappointment that I only got five books and that I only got to look over like four tables, but here’s a tip: remember the lower lip when pouting, otherwise you’ll just look sullen.<\/p>\n
On October 18<\/b>, we didn’t go to a book fair, but we found a listing on Craigslist for a book garage sale, so we loaded up and went there. I got more books:<\/p>\n

- \n
- The Handbook of Folklore<\/i>.\n<\/li>\n
- The TV Theme Song Trivia Book<\/i>. I flipped it open, and the first thing I saw were the first words of the voiceover for the original Battlestar Galactica<\/i> theme. It’s a quiz book, and I’m sure I’ll do okay on the 1970s and 1980s and probably “I’ll Be There For You” from Friends<\/i>.\n<\/li>\n
- The Human Brain<\/i> by Isaac Asimov.\n<\/li>\n
- Grassroots Tyranny<\/i>.\n<\/li>\n
- Quality without Tears<\/i>. Frankly, it doesn’t sound like as much fun as Quality with Tears, Sobs, and Lamentations of Developers. But I’m open to new ideas I’ll discard.\n<\/li>\n
- Uppity Women in Medieval Times<\/i>. An idea book.\n<\/li>\n
- The Crime Encyclopedia<\/i>. Also an idea book.\n<\/li>\n
- Montezuma<\/i>. No doubt a laudatory biography about that wretched monarch.\n<\/li>\n
- Imressionism<\/i>, a right purty book about my favorite art style.<\/ul>\n
I know, it’s not a lot, but it should represent a quarter’s worth of reading spread among many years and bookshelves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
On October 11, we went to St. Martin of Tour’s book fair in South County. I’d seen the signs, but they were not listed on BookSaleFinder.com, so we expected a small sale. Will we have enough money in hand with only $30? Probably. Oh, but no. It had more books than we anticipated, and soon […]<\/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-4651","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4651","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=4651"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4651\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15733,"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4651\/revisions\/15733"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
