My sister and I just got back from the Public Library Used Book Sale. Today was the last day of the sale, so you bought a large bag for $5 and filled it with as many books as you could fit inside. I came away with:

Cold Comfort Farm Audio Book
In Her Day by Rita Mae Brown
The Girls Next Door: Into the Heart of Lesbian America
Gloria Steinem: Her Passions, Politics, and Mystique
Silence of the Lambs
Chain Letter
A Piece of My Heart: The Stories of 26 American Women Who Served in Vietnam
The Foreign Student by Susan Choi
Gut Yuntif Gut Yohr: A Collection in Yiddish of Original Holiday Verses and Popular English Classics in Translation
The New Our Bodies Our Selves (1984 Ed.)
The Japanese by Edwin O. Reischauer
Vienna Prelude by Bodie Thoene
The Book of Hours by T. Davis Bunn
This Perfect Day by Ira Levin
Potshot by Robert B. Parker
Strumpet City by James Plunkett

All of those books for $5.

Not too shabby ^_^

Ooooh! I *love* "bag-of-books" sales! Sounds like so much fun, I haven't been to one in quite a while!

Looks like good hunting! We have our big sale during the first week of October. I sometimes have to force myself not to buy back books I've donated to it earlier in the year :þ The funniest thing related to our sale was the one year 2 of my coworkers went down to where they were having the sale, and came back with new shoes...

Nifty!

When I was in school, I practiced to books on tape every night. I LOVED 'EM. It was a great way to knock off "reading" and expand my vocab for my dictionary. Just food for thought. :)
