Sometimes I actually read books

Currently my summer roster doesn't include any English classes so I have generally been favoring the motion picture over the written word. Mi madre recently ventured into a financial endeavor with fantabulous perks for me. Today I was taken into the backroom of the local library and let me tell you its an under appreciated treasure. They take in unloved old books and they sell them to the general public : $0.50 for paperbacks and $1.00 for hardcovers so that the library makes a little extra cash. Now for the low low price of $7.00 I was able to obtain some real gems :

My new old literature loves:
Kate Chopin - The Awakening
Orson Wells - War of the Worlds
Jane Austen - Pride and Prejudice
Fyodor Dostoevsky - Crime and Punishment
Shakespeare's Soliloqueys
Tolstoy - Anna kareina
Thomas More - Utopia
Pat Conroy - The Great Santini
Katherine Hepburn - Me
Mariane Pearl - A Mighty Heart
Yann Martel - The Life of Pi
Philippa Gregory - The Other Boleyn Girl
The Complete Works of William Shakespeare in addition to hardcover ancient editions of A Midsummer's Night Dream, Hamlet and Othello.

So the moral of today's shopping spree: shop at your local library because
1. I left an entire collection of James Bond novels behind because i was out of cash
2. there are many many classics and even the trashy romance and pop novels that are abandoned and need some love
3. proceeds go to making your local literary watering hole a better place
4. its the cheapest way to expand your personal library and give some books a good loving home
