And all of that only cost $8.50 :D.
There's going to be another booksale next month at a different library. I don't know where I'm going to fit all the books . . . and I don't really mind that.
 
I went on a book spree recently. I picked up:

Crime & Punishment
The Haunting of Hill House
We Have Always Lived In The Castle
The Turn of the Screw
Plum Island
A Brave New World
Water for Elephants

Now I need to figure out which one to read first, or maybe I should read one of the other dozen or so books already on my shelf that I haven't read yet. I think I need someone to do an intervention. Do they have a Betty Ford Center for bookaholics? :whistling:

Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides


It wasn't on my shopping list, but I couldn't resist the purchase because Borders was good enough to have a stack of them on sales shelves.
 
A Thomas Hardy omnibus featuring Tess Of The D'Urbervilles,Under The Greenwood Tree & The Well-beloved. 50p off the market!
 
I'm about to pre-order a few books by Charlaine Harris that are due to come out in May. But aside from those, I recently bought a Stephen King book at the grocery store. It's called Stephen King Goes to The Movies, and it's five of his books that have been made movies, as well as a little description from King about how the adaption from book to screen took place, and whether or not he liked it. Pretty good thus far.
 
I'm not sure how recent 'recently purchased' is, but the last two books I bought are Matthew Chapman's 40 Days and 40 Nights, about the Dover, Penn ID trial, and In the Footsteps of Frankenstein by Steve Parker. This is a children's book, about forty pages. On the even pages is a simplified version of the original story, on the odd pages are various articles about science, medicine, robotics etc.

Other that those two my purchases have been mostly related to my recently started correspondence course. As a result, next to my PC are piles of dictionaries, thesauruses and language guides.
 
Recent additons after a long hiatus due to the economy, all used:

The Summer Game - Roger Angell

Our Game - John LeCarré

Rosa - Knut Hamsun

Stage Directions - Sir John Gielgud
