Actually, those are the titles of two of his books of short stories. "We don't live here anymore" was made into a movie. I own Adultery and other Choices, but haven't read it. Maybe I will now.

Just picked up another one of my very favorites -- maybe a duplicate, but who cares. Worth 19 stars IMO:
Last Exit to Brooklyn - Hubert Selby, Jr.
and a modern non-fiction from Oxford University Press to itch my brain:
Complexity - A Guided Tour - Melanie Mitchell
plus
Roadside Geology of Louisiana - Darwin Spearing,
so I can know where in the World I am.

Half Price Books is having a 20% off sale that starts tomorrow. But I couldn't help myself today.
Dexter by Design by Jeff Lindsay (the fourth/latest book)
Horns by Joe Hill (I really liked Heart Shaped Box.)

The new novel from the guy behind Let The Right One In. Got it signed too. Looks good, if utterly untranslatable.
William Golding, Lord Of The Flies
About time I re-read this one, and the Faber Firsts edition looks really nice too.

The Millennium Series by Stieg Larsson, starting with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I can't find words to describe how good these books are... though I have tried... see my blog page at The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo « Richard Whittle______PlaypitsPark
