Today was the annual VNSA book sale. This year I went for quality over quantity. I also made a pact with Sandi that I wasn't going to go crazy; I was only going to buy books that I would actually be reading instead of my usual rubric of "Well, you never know what you'll need and I won't be able to buy it for 50¢ in that future."
I spent a total of $23.80, an all-time low on the following books:
- Complete Poems of Robert Frost, 1949 by Robert Frost
- The Forest for the Trees: An Editor's Advice to Writers by Betsy Lerner
- An Introduction to Poetry by X.J. Kennedy (newer edition)
- The Raspberry Tree: And Other Poems of Sentiment and Reflection by Stoddard King
- Guidebook 1 - Highways of Arizona: U.S. Highway 666 by Eldred Wilson
- Saving Childhood: Protecting Our Children from the National Assault on Innocence by Michael and Diane Medved
- The Mother Tongue: English and How It Got That Way by Bill Bryson
- The Nudist on the Late Shift: And Other True Tales of Silicon Valley by Po Bronson
- The Inmates are Running the Asylum: Why High-Tech Products Drive Us Crazy and How to Restore the Sanity by Alan Cooper
- On Writing by Stephen King
- The Works of Victor Hugo (9 vols.) by Victor Hugo
