i went there today and found a ton of things i wanted. i could easily have spent $100... but i've already spent more than enough money on books this month and so i limited myself to the following:
cold comfort farm by stella gibbons
-someone recommended this to me a long time ago. it was $5, so i thought i might as well pick it up.
thank you, jeeves by p. g. wodehouse
right ho, jeeves by p. g. wodehouse
-the jeeves & wooster books have been recommended to me alll over the place, and i believe i am doing a challenge at goodreads.com for which these books can count.
nights at the circus by angela carter
-i read the bloody chamber (angela carter's collection of folk/fairy tale-inspired short stories) a while back and i loved it so much. it was exquisite. nights at the circus looks really good but i especially could not pass up this copy- it's a vintage-look new edition; i'm not normally in the business of judging books by their covers and all that but there is just something really pleasing about it.
the tale of murasaki by liza dalby
-this has been on my amazon wishlist forever. it is a fictional account of life of the author of the tale of genji, which i also want to read.
the space between us by thrity umrigar
-another wishlist purchase. i've also been really interested in reading about india lately.
love walked in by maria de los santos
-this looks super chick litty but something about it appealed to me.
fight club by chuck palahniuk
-i have sort of a problem with chuck palahniuk. every annoying hipster-type girl i've ever met has been obsessed with his books, for one. and then i tried to read haunted once and it was terrible. so, i am very biased against him at the moment. but my boyfriend thinks i would like the movie fight club, and if i'm going to watch that, i might as well read the book.
