Ulysses by James Joyce
Anarchism & Other Essays by Emma Goldman
The Complete Poems of Hart Crane

They were used, and essential.
Enter the Saint by Leslie Charteris--the complete edition. Loved the Saint back in pre-teen days and teen years then went through a snob period when I discovered better (John D. MacDonald, Adam Hall) characters but now the pendulum has swung back and I am going back to the childhood days of more innocent times. And enjoyng it, This would NOT have been possible even five years ago because Charteris never was the great writer HE thought he was but he is entertaining in a Cesar Romero kind of way.
Hamlet--because I had to for my course. I really dislike it :(
Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. I heard it was good.I'm not sure why I waited until now, but I needed something to read, and there it was. It's a very involving story.

A local bookstore has closed here after 70+ years. But the idiot that I am, I didn't go until the very last day. So there were hardly any books on the shelves. I found those above. They seemed interesting (and I needed Seeing Redd because it is a sequel to another one that I already have). So, at least I managed to leave the store with these. It is better than none at all, right? :)
Homecoming by Bernard Schlink because I liked The Reader.
Recently, I was cleaning up room, trying to make some sense and order out of the discheveled mess and found an entire box of books, I bought not long ago from Dover Publications when they had a big sale. I was rather delighted, since I found these:

I've been buying too many books recently. Ah well, I'll get around to reading them some day I suppose.
F. Scott Fitzgerald - the Great Gatsby
I've been meaning to read it for a while. The fact that it was named to have some sort of car theme going on pushed me over the edge :)
I LOVED paper dolls when I was a kid, Janine!Quote:
