contemplativeI just got back from visiting thrift stores in search of used books to rescue from the garbage dump. I found these used books this morning to add to our library-
"The Fate Of Liberty: Abraham Lincoln And Civil Liberties" by Mark E. Neely, Jr. [Winner Of The 1992 Pulitzer Prize For History]
"Chita: A Memory Of Last Island" a novel by Lafcadio Hearn
"My Dog Tulip" memoir by J. R. Ackerley (I have another book by Ackerley titled, "Hindoo Holiday".)
"Conseuelo and Alva Vanderbilt: The Story of a Daughter and a Mother in the Gilded Age" biography by Amanda Mackenzie Stuart
"Examples: The Making of 40 Photographs" by Ansel Adams
"Moby Dick" a novel by Herman Melville (I collect different editions of "Moby Dick" as a hobby.)
"Nothing If Not Critical: Selected Essays On Art And Artists" by Robert Hughes (I already have this book in our library. I bought it to give away to some poor artist.)
"The Blood Countess" a novel by Andrei Codrescu (I collected the writings of Andrei Codrescu.)
After visiting thrift stores I came home to drift through the rest of the day.
