I’m a total sucker at library book sales, when it’s 50 cent paperback time I’ll grab anything, if I think there’s even the slightest possibility of me actually wanting to read the book at some point before I die it’s in the bag. Because heck it’s 50 cents, two books for the price of a vending machine soda hard to feel like you’re wasting money. Thrift shops are great too, never really know what you’ll find but it’ll be dirt cheap, along with dirt cheap music. I often find it hard to excuse buying entertainment products new.
The library bag sales are also the way I find bunches of old mysteries from the forties and fifties...my personal weakness when it comes to quick and easy reading. But really, but the time they get to the “stuff a bag” stage, I’ll take any genre, any style, anything I might possibly read - it’s a good way to find new authors. Even if some of the books end up being unreadable or just plain silly, it’s a lot cheaper and less risky than renting campy movies with the hope that they’ll be bad in a good way. ;-)
