I got them both from the Dollar Store. That seems to be where my store of choice is lately for all of my books.
Isn't it perculier that hardly any of us 'literature junkies' buy one book at a time, always 2, 3 or more!
Looking for Alaska by John Green
Brave new world by Aldous Huxley
The surgeon of Crawthorne by Simon Winchester
Tove Jansson - Moominsummer Madness
Because I love her books, they are so sweet and have very wise thoughts.
Last book bought:
Tess of the D'urbervilles - Thomas Hardy
Why bought it:
Have been meaning to read it for a while, read a little on Google book search and then thought I had to get it because I loved it too much and wanted to underline/highlight bits I loved.
The last book I bought, which was last week, was the English translation of The Reader originally written in German by Bernhard Schlink.
The reason I bought it was that Kate Winslet won an Academy Award for the movie based on this book. I was interested by the movie sypnosis. This book is really worth a read. It is short and could be finished in three to four hours. Each of the three parts deal with very different emotions.
Last book I purchased is entitled: You Suck [A love story]
Why?
I was at the Walden bookstore and was planning on buying a journal.
Instead I spotted a light, bright blue covered book with large red letters
and a vampire mouth with fangs. Not only did that catch my attention; the title itself got me curious.
After reading the entire book, I must say.....it did not suck. haha:)
The last book I bought is entitled: The Penguin Book of American Short Stories
The reason is: I'm preparing for my MA in American Literature and those stories will enrich my knowledge.
I'm always intrigued by that book.Quote:

Why? They were cheap. I got them from a used bookstore that is going out-of-business for half off of an already decently discounted price.
Justine by Lawrence Durrell. It is one of a quartet of books about the lifes and loves of characters living in Alexandria, Egypt just prior to and during WWII. The first three novels tell the same story but in different perspectives. Time dosesn't move onward until the fourth or last novel. Have just finished Justine and have ordered the second novel, Balthazar. Number three is Mountolive and four is Clea. Very passionate novels and extremely interesting.
Infinite Jest - David Foster Wallace
The Road - Cormac McCarthy
the Crying of Lot 49 - Thomas Pynchon
