Our favorite thing to do on vacation is go to as many used book stores in Florida as we can find.

If you ever find yourself in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, take a side trip to Archer City (120 miles or so northwest). Larry McMurtry opened several used book stores there. The only time I’ve “dropped by”, I ran into him at the Dairy Queen while eating breakfast and again in one of the stores.

I see from a story on the internet that someone says he has become less available to fans, so that might not happen any more. Before I went, I swore that I wouldn't bother him if I ran into him, but it was hard not to say something.

It was an interesting day trip.

Thanks,
Sounds like a great time. Its a great thing to do on a rainy day. Just brouse and read bits and pieces from as many books as you can . They may be expensive to buy, but this way you can still enjoy some segment of them.
I’m really into any one’s bio. (I’m also a Steven King fan. (go figure) :>)
