Fourth of July Used Book Porn

July 4, 2011 § 1 Comment

Here are the books I chose with store credit from McKay’s earlier today.  Found a dozen titles in Spanish, French, and German for future reading/language improvement.  Should get around to some of these later this year.

The Gardner book in particular interests, as does the Wolfe story collection.  Curious about Iris Murdoch, so she certainly will be read shortly.  I was also pleased to find Ben Marcus’ first book for only $1.50 and a nice Library of America edition of some of Willa Cather’s stories and poetry.  Haven’t yet read the particular Bret Easton Ellis and Christopher Priest books, so those will be read sometime in the near future.

Any of these catch your eye?

    I liked Gardner and loathe La nausée by Sartre. I was in my teens when I read it and never could come back to it. I greatly enjoyed his plays but this novel was an absolute NO.
