The creepiest thing just happened to me: I wanted this book i saw on the Oprah Book Club: Middlesex for weeks. But i didn't know where to find it. I didn't tell anybody about it but today my mother with ESP-like knowledge bought it at her work (walmarts!) for me! and she didn't even know i would like it since it's written in english and she doesn't understand it

Auggie Wren's Christmas Story by Paul Auster (this is a small hardbound/illustrated edition of the story that Harvey Keitel tells William Hurt at the end of the film Smoke -- it is little more than a short story, but this book edition is a small object of beauty, so I could not resist)
Finally, I found that my edition of Oscar Wilde's collected works contains everything he wrote, except for the short stories, so I ordered a nice hardbound edition of the short stories (and other writings) from Amazon. When the book arrived, it turned out to be big as a millstone. Literally, it weighs 3 or 4 pounds, and the format is enormous. It also contains reproductions of the original illustrations and the pages have gilded edges -- another beautiful book, but one that I am actually not sure how I will physically go about reading.
We were the Leopards, the Lions; those who'll take our place will be little jackals, hyenas; and the whole lot of us, Leopards, jackals, and sheep, we'll all go on thinking ourselves the salt of the earth.
