There is nothing more classy than going to a well-stocked bookstore and purchasing books with money like any well-heeled gentlemen are expected to do. Only the homeless use librairies

Didn't you say in a thread yesterday that you already have books out from the library that you need to read? You were supposed to be getting to that Grossman.

I can do library check-outs! (ignore the Abe on top)

Older picture, I've read and turned in a few of these already. I also have out The Wall by Marlen Haushofer, Tubutsch by Albert Ehnrenstein, An Offering for the Dead by Hans Erich Nossack + Motorman by David Ohle and The Complete Works of Urmuz for scanning purposes.

Currently reading The Sorrows of Egret Lake.

The Plague and Stoner are both wonderful books. I've been meaning to read A Portrait for a couple of years now but I've never gotten around to starting it.

they had that copy of For Whom the Bell Tolls but I already had one so I didn't get it.
