Sorry for the double post, but today I've succumbed again...

Had never heard of it when I bought it, but it was quite good actually.

At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality.
-Ernesto Che Guevara
Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone elses opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

Pulled in some stuff from a used book store and a Barnes & Noble today:
Yasunari Kawabata -- Beauty and Sadness, Snow Mountain
Yukio Mishima -- Sun and Steel
Natsume Soseki -- Kokoro
Tomorrow Barnes and Noble is having a book fair for my local library. 15-25% of puchases will be donated to my library, provided you have a voucher. So I am debating about what I want to buy.
Other than that, the last book I bought was my class catalog for university!

"He was nauseous with regret when he saw her face again, and when, as of yore, he pleaded and begged at her knees for the joy of her being. She understood Neal; she stroked his hair; she knew he was mad."

I think mine was the Canterburry Tales, with original middle english for six bucks at B and N.

Good job! I've heard great things about that book.
Last Thursday I bought two books:
Old Soldiers by David Weber which is a continuation of Keith Laumer's Bolos series about future war where tanks have artificial intelligence that is so advanced they can fight a war by themselves.
Mr. Monk and the Two Assistants by Lee Goldberg, the fourth novel based on the TV series. Now while this is a good thing the irritating thing is that unlike the three previous novels that debuted paperback this one was done in HARDCOVER which of course annoys the daylights out of me when placed next to the others on the bookcase. Even worse, Tina from News Outlet four stores down from the Bookery says it's selling so they'll probably do more that way. Sigh a year for the paperback and a donated hardcover to son Jim who surprised me by being a Monk fan (he's not a Columbo fan).
hmm the last book I bought was tess of the the d'urbervilles, and ive just finished reading it! Very good book!
Blood County by Curt Selby (loved I, Zombie 4.5/5, Selby is the pseudonym of Sci-Fi writer Doris Piserchia)
Teenage Monsters by Mike Sharlow
Demon Theory by Stephen Graham Jones
Notes from the Underground-Dostoevsky
Which translator(s)? Assuming it wasn't the original.
