I have a problem. A major problem. An out of control, book-buying problem.
Okay, so, my friend Alex and I were hanging out, wasting time, and we decided to go to Books-A-Million — what we always end up doing. Books-A-Million is pretty much the only bookstore in our town — unfortunately this really cool used bookstore on the square closed a few years ago — and I had this whole discussion with Alex on the way there about how Barnes and Noble, which we have in town where I go to school, puts BAM to shame in terms of selection.
Well… despite all my arguing, BAM was actually having an AWESOME sale. Check out my buys:
The Mysteries of Pittsburgh by Michael Chabon
Wives and Lovers by Richard Bausch
Varieties of Disturbance by Lydia Davis
When the Nines Roll Over by David Benioff
Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss
The Yiddish Policemen’s Union by Michael Chabon

Thank G_d for folks like you who still read
I have never been able to knock out Mysteries of Pittsburgh despite my huge Chabon fandom. Yiddish Policemen’s Union, though, streaked by.
