yay books

[supercheesegirl]

I just went on thriftbooks.com and ordered a few things. I found them through amazon z-shops, and they had several things I wanted so I just ordered through their own website so I could combine the order. I got: two Mrs. Pollifax books (priced at a penny each), Nina Kiriki Hoffman's A Fistful of Sky, and two self-help books that I'd heard good things about (including the one Chrysta recommended--I'll let you know how it is). Total for the order was $17, but that's for five books, one of which is a hardback, so I'm okay with that. This would have been easily twice as expensive if I bought them new on amazon. No more books now, though--I went looking for these books specifically at Harvard Book Store yesterday and didn't find them but found several other used treasures, so I'm seriously done with book shopping until after I move. And if any of you have ever wanted to read a book that I own, now is the time to ask for it, people. There are several items from the last book swap that I need to trade to someone else, too.

Kat: Remember those two hardback Hamiltons you gave me? I still haven't read them since I don't have the first one--want them back? Or is someone else in the scorpion bowl crowd interested?

I don't in particular need them, but I'm sure someone would be interested.

Funny, I went to Diesel looking to see if you'd be there, because I'd just finished To Hell with All That, and thought you might be interested in reading it. Or at least, I'd be interested to hear your take on it. It's about the work/life balance women often have difficulty with, and the appeal of things we see as traditional.

Dang--I didn't make it to Diesel tonight because Sara(h) Byers came over and we watched Pirates of the Carribean because she hadn't seen it. We drank rum and cokes and ordered chinese food and it was really fun! But I have not read that book and would be interested in checking it out.

I think you had way more fun with what you were doing. I'll get it to you at some point--you have first dibs, as you're leaving soon.
