what DIDN'T i buy may be an easier question to answer.
Born Standing Up: Steve Martin Schulz & Peanuts The Virgin Suicides Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrel Interpreter of Maladies Truck: A Love Story Hardboiled & Hard Luck Adverbs: Daniel Handler All 7 Narnia books Peter Pan Some San Diego Guidebooks Some books on organization Then We came to the end Things my girlfriend & I have argued about The Hive: Story of the Honeybee HOW design's Idea Revolution Home Land Emily Dickinson's collected poetry Books of short stories by Amy Hempel, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Ben Fountain, Lydia Davis, Lorrie Moore, David Foster Wallace and um, a lot more!
Have you tried bookmooch.com yet? If you have some books you don't want on your shelves anymore, and you want to replace them with some more, I think you will like it. I haven't had much luck lately finding books I'm looking for, but I've gotten more than 20 books from it in the past year!
Have you seen paperbackswap.com ? You may find yourself less broke this way! I have just ordered my first series off there, and it's been a nice way to trade off duplicates and old books I never read. Inherited a big box of random stuff and there were a lot of random things in there that I didnt want, which I can now translate into stuff I *DO* want!
yes! paperbackswap is great! i managed to get near brand-new copies of books by my favorite authors, as well as some pretty nice phaidon art books/other art books. all it costs is the cheap media mail shipping, so like $2 average a book. oh, and you can specify if you don't want a book from a smoker's house. everyone that uses it is motivated to get goods in return, i can't recall ever being disappointed with an "order"!
I have heard of that website before! I used to be a big patron of library book sales, but I'm just too allergic to too many used books (dusty pages or whatever) I spend more time sneezing than reading.
