They live just a mile down the road right?
And they live in tents in their back yard because they bought three books from their Amazon wish list and their spouses tossed their sleeping bags at them...poor dears.
To get this back on track, I'll tell about the three books I rescued from the sale cart at the library last week:
A Lesson Before Dying-Ernest Gaines
A Hole in the Earth-Robert Bausch
Salt Dancers-Ursula Hegi

I got Half of a yellow Sun! It's by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. I'm so terribly excited to start!
Good for you! This is on my ever-expanding Amazon wish list too. Be sure to tell us your thoughts when you're done reading.

I just bought two books last night from Barnes and Noble. Yay me. Can't wait to get into them, but gotta finish the Noble Dead series first

Today I came home and found a RABCK (Random Act of Book Crossing Kindness) waiting for me - 253 by Geoff Ryman. It's a book that I've been looking for for ages but have been unable to find, so I'm so grateful for the kind BookCrossing member and her surpise act of kindness!! (the member who sent it was LittleMoo, by the way )

I bought:
Tokyo - Mo Hayder
The Kitchen God's Wife - Amy Tan
£1.59 each second hand. I seem to have sapped all of the good books out of the charity shops here already... I was so disapointed I went and got a nice new volume of manga.

If you like Doctorow's historical fiction, give Ragtime a try. I liked that one as it was about late 19th century America and industrialization, a time period that is a favorite of mine. The March should be very interesting as it is a Civil War piece that received a ton of press. I haven't read it, though I'm curious as to what others think about it.
