I received a package from B&N just the other day containing Sala's Gift: My Mother's Holocaust Story and Johnny Got His Gun. I am looking forward to diving in to both when I get the time.

Misfortune - Wesley Stace
Bought them all at the Dollar Tree last night! 3 nice, hardcover books. I've been meaning to get Behind the Lines as I had the other two collections. What luck, huh?!
It's one of my most irritating habits(especially for my big sis!)to buy books whenever I get hold of some money.My mom never trusts her daughter in this very case and is therefore ever reluctant to hand me money for any purpose.okay now,the last book I bought huh?well,it was...as far as I can recall...'A volume of stories of Misir Ali' by Humayun Ahmed,currently the most renowned author of my country,Bangladesh.

Many thanks. I'm thinking the wisest thing is to stop buying them now... I'm beginning a project of one chapter a night for the next year or so (perhaps ever after, if I like it) in order to acquaint myself with more of his works before the class, so I consider myself completely justified...
