oyceterI got so caught up in the whole deluge of comments that I forgot to post about this!
Anyhow, there was a library sale last weekend.
Need I say more?
I got:
- RuThAnne Lum McCunn, Thousand Pieces of Gold (Asian-American fiction)
- Lizzie Simon, Detour: My Bipolar Road Trip in 4-D
- Andrew J. Nathan and Perry Link, eds., The Tiananmen Papers
- Simon Singh, Fermat's Enigma (I liked his The Code Book a lot)
- Oliver Sacks, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales
- Olivia Judson, Dr. Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation (Bugs having sex on the cover! Also, good reviews)
- Kim Wong Keltner, The Dim Sum of All Things (Asian-American chick lit)
All for $8!
And if that weren't enough, I went back to the used bookstore to get vols. 2-5 of Planet Ladder. They also had vol. 1 of Cross there, but I decided that I really didn't need my own copy to flip through, although I was really tempted, just so I could pull it out and show it to random visitors, thereby ensuring that no one would come over to see me ever again.
The best of all was finding the very OOP Four Shojo Stories in the corner of a random comic book store, still going for cover price. Still not cheap, but pretty good compared the the $60 it's going for online! Yay classic shoujo!
