I'm doing a lot of library visiting despite the fact that I have years and years of paperbacks to catch up on...
I have to read 20 pages of each and decide which to keep and which to toss. I don't even know why I have some of these books . . .

I just read, of all things, a Buffy the Vampire Slayer novel (novelette, really) even though I gave up on TV show novelizations. (They're awful.) Turns out that the reason that I picked it up at a library sale was because it was co-authored by Josepha Sherman, whom I've met a couple of times at Lunacon. She's a great storyteller and a funny ol' broad to boot. (I think I've heard her use that term for herself -- or one of her friends, so it's okay.) It wasn't bad.

Okay, I'm ramblin' now. Gotta get focused and get coffee.

I liked some of the “Star Trek: TNG” novels.

We always check the library sale racks; pick up lots of Shakespeare plays for $.25 each. I’ve got a standing reward offered for any Thomas Sowell books.

#1 on my list is the second volume of Rick Atkins World War 2 trilogy “The Day of Battle”. The first book in the series, “Army at Dawn” about the Allied campaign in North Africa, was fantastic.

Thanks for the story. Good to refer to as I buy or go to the library.

Clarence Thomas’ recent autobiography had a few things to say about Thomas Sowell. Justice Thomas’ book is certainly a good read. The man is a hero. he actually was paying off his college student loans while he was nominated to the Supreme Court.

Kathleen Willey’s recent book “Target” had a lot to say about the Clintons. So much so that I can scarcely believe that she actually wrote it. It was simply too full of information concerning Hillary. In a word...”comprehensive: and it seemed to me to be the work of professional political operatives.

The book “Blueprint” was a recreational treat for me. It is about how the N.E. Patriots organization has been able to outmaneuver the NFL’s scheme to insure parity in the league.

Other books that I have read during the last couple of months might surprise some. Atlas Shrugged among them.
