Library Sells Off Good Stock Real Cheap


It's a little hard to see, but those are 25 cents stickers on three promising books. If only I could read as fast as I buy. Check out these first sentences:

THE BOOK OF LAUGHTER AND FORGETTING by Milan Kundera
In February 1948, the communist leader Klement Gottwald stepped out on the balcony of a Baroque palace in Prague to harangue hundereds of thousands of citizens massed in Old Town Square.

THE NEW MEANING OF TREASON by Rebecca West
The idea of a traitor first became real to the British of our time when they heard the voice of William Joyce on the radio during the war.

UTTERLY MONKEY by Nick Laird
Moving is easy.

Okay, maybe they're not that gripping, but I have high hopes for these.
