Bookstores cause me to lose most of my self-control. Of the 50 alloted pounds I was allowed to stuff into cargo, MSP to AVL, i had a good 48. Accolades to Half-Price Books Maplewood, which, despite its size limitations, has always proven to be a serious compeditor to The Strand.What i brought back, in no particular order:
Indian Killer-Sherman Alexie
The Naked Chef Takes Off-Jamie Oliver
Paula Spencer (Sequel to The Woman Who Walked Into Doors)-Roddy Doyle
Martha Stewart's Christmas (1989)
The Best of Martha Stewart Living Holidays (1993)
The Art of the Great Hollywood Portrait Photographers-John Cobal
Moving Out-Robert Frank
Time Life Photography Collection-16 books ($29.99!!! which of course, will have to be shipped book rate)
And thanks to Baltic Imports: The Hippocrene Treasury of French Love Poems
And you?

today, my entire day's agenda revolves around the fact that i am going to finally begin to read 'Hons and Rebels.'
The top Star Tribune headline today? "Drought, economy needle state's Christmas tree growers." I love that we're from a state where the success of Christmas tree farms is critical to the local economy. Ditto being from a state in which the leading newspaper runs puns as headlines.
we have some similarities here. north carolina is also a christmas tree state, in fact, it is the state from which the white house tree comes this year. (no maija, i am not going to buy you a white house tree).
actually, maybe we should buy a white house tree for maija. she can lay it end to end across her apartment and decorate one section a night until christmas. i can see it...
