prosodicLance had errands to run this evening, and asked me to tag along. One of his errands included picking up a computer programming book at Barnes & Noble. But since it was next door to Office Depot and he also needed a printer cartridge, he went to Office Depot first. I skipped it entirely and made a beeline for the bargain books.
Finds:
Becoming Jane Austen - Jon Spence
Jane Austen's Guide to Good Manners: Compliments, Charades & Horrible Blunders - Josephine Ross
The second book is cute.
Lance found me at one point, bearing one other book he found for me... 88 Money-Making Writing Jobs - Robert Bly. So I added that to the pile. I checked on the book when we got home and it has a 5 star rating from amazon, so hopefully it was worth the purchase. If nothing else, I can write it off as a business expense.
All in all, not a bad day, though I could do without the heat-induced headache.
And this post reminds me that I haven't read anything since we got back from Ohio. I just haven't been in the mood to read. I'm working on a book by William Zinsser that I have to review, so I should probably try to read some more of that tonight.
It's also ridiculous how many unread books I have sitting in my bookshelf right now. And I'm running out of room for them. Good thing I don't make it to B&N very often.
