I drove up to the Concord Public Library to pick up a book that I'll need for school this week -- couldn't wait for Interlibrary Loan to come through. Pretty ride through lots of autumn color, and the library itself is fabulously pretty -- I spent some time just prowling about, looking at the busts and the Thoreau exhibit. There's also a Transcendental Alcove, which has two very comfortable overstuffed chairs and walls of glassed-in bookcases with the Complete Works in many many different editions.
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

Man, I must not have been paying attention this weekend, Musharraf suspended the constitution again.
I don't want to go to work tomorrow.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hey, Numb3rs watchers--what's up with the guy who was a spy last season being back with the team? Double undercover or a frame job or something?

WHEE! I just listed like 10 more books on amazon and a rocking chair on craigslist. Yay productivity from the couch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What kind of books? I was just thinking this morning that I can't believe there's nowhere in NYC I can really sell my junk paperbacks, but would it be worth it to sell them on Amazon?

Jesse, I've found it works best for genre books - romance, mystery, sf/fantasy. Recent bestsellers too. Otherwise you don't generally get a lot of action. It's rare to get more than a couple of bucks apiece, but hey, that's better than nothing.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm singing the praises of BookMooch, which I just joined this week.

I have those! So I could get a couple of bucks plus shipping? Maybe I'll do it. What if they're just in OK shape?

I am about to go to this wedding with no bra on. This is not a good week to test me.
