Last Book You Bought and Why

[Janine]

My cousin and I kept our paper dolls in huge boxes shoved under our beds.

Last book I bought was The Awakening - for here.

Wish mine were still under the bed; then they might be preserved. Now I have such an itch to go and find those old ones in the basement. What fun it will be to see them again.

Ok, last book I bought was two nights ago. I went to Barnes and Noble with a friend and her husband. I got a book from the sale section on Van Gogh and she bought a book on Dore. We figured we could share the wealth. Can one ever go to B&N and actually NOT buy something?Needless to say, they also had a ton of DVD's on sale, so we both picked up a few of those. I should be shot; I still have some unopened! The Van Gogh book is really nice though. I had not seen many of the paintings in it and the price was incredible, so I am happy. Art books never go to waste!

You had a "Little House on the Prairie" paperdoll set? Oh my gosh, LadyWentworth will freak out. She'll want to buy them from you.

AH! I completely forgot that she loves Little House!!

I purchased some classics, have to use up my membership at the store before it expires.
So I got A tale of Two Cities and The Scarlett Letter and let me see, oh my I can't remember, I am very tired to day. Whatever it was it was wonderful!

Both you mention are fine books, indeed. I loved them both. Happy reading, Eugenie and hope you get some rest!

Yes, *Classic*...for sure, LadyWentworth will be tracking you down to steal those paper dolls!

Capital vol. I

Just kind of seemed like the right time.

Only if you have some capital to worry about!

'The Drinking Den' - Emile Zola
'King Solomon's Mines' - H. Rider Haggard
'A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court' - Mark Twain

I bought the first and latter because I love the authors, and 'King Solomon's Mines' sounded very interesting. I can't wait until they arrive!

Mariamosis, I have read the second and last and enjoyed them both; been years now. I love Haggard's book "She". I would think the Zola would be a very good read, too. My father loved his work.

Unless you are one of those masochistic readers who subject themselves to the most turgid of texts in the name of some spurious ideal, my advice would be, don't bother. I know whereof I speak, for when I was young and innocent ( I almost said stupid but it is often the same thing), I too delved into Das Kapital thinking that it had something important to say about economics, but after struggling to read the importance of part-time widget producers in Saxony to the well-being of the world community as a whole, I stopped dreaming and got on with my life. I suspect that in the current economic collapse many of the old copies of Das Kapital are being dusted off by wishful thinkers looking for that Utopia where everyone earns the same salary and the world is full of brotherly love but, realistically, it would be better to return Das Kapitel to its former usefulness as a doorstop.

Thank you Janine, I have been looking thru the books and honestly I cannot make my mind remember at the moment. that is really sad.
But don't worry I do plan to have rest in about oh,,,,,six months or so.
Now back to those books.

[LadyWentworth]

Maybe, what I can do is color photo copy them and we can cut those out; what do you think of that idea?

Actually, that doesn't sound like a bad idea at all. I really do seriously regret cutting them out. But like I said, what else was I going to do with them then? It just irritates me that I ruined them like that. Also, if I hadn't cut them out I wouldn't have somehow lost one of the dresses for the Marily Monroe set!

What fun that will be and I love the smell of the Crayola crayons, don't you?

Oh, it is fantastic! One of the best in the world!

Yes, *Classic*...for sure, LadyWentworth will be tracking you down to steal those paper dolls!

Well, if they are the ones that I think they are, she doesn't have to worry because I already have them. And I didn't cut those out, by the way.

Those the ones?

[LadyWentworth]

Those the ones?

Yes, actually. But I found out that there are some Christmas Little House dolls, too. So I will probably have to get those at some time, too.

The ground beneath her feet - Salman Rushdie. Er, I bought this because the title and the cover appealed so much to me... I'm the worst at judging a book by its cover! jesus. No self control.

High Fidelity by Nick Hornby - because lots of people have recomended it to me and I am reading all the 50 penguin classics and its one!
