A GLUTTON OF BOOKS

Idlewild Bookstore in NYC

Right before I came back to California, Claire and I hit up Idlewild Bookstore in New York. (It's named after the JFK Airport, not anything literary or cute. I asked the cashier.) So much was on sale for four or five bucks. Awesome. Shipped back the following: "Heat," (which I mention here), "The Shipping News," and "We Wish To Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families." I started reading "The Shipping News" and then I lost the book in the midst of fall cleaning. So now I'm reading "We Wish..." about the Rwandan Genocide. I'm not sure it'll help my Seasonal Affective Disorder but winter time is perfect for depressing reads about the human condition (usually fulfilled by reading Russian literature).

Other recent buys at the Berkeley Friends of the Library include, "American Pastoral," "Mother Tongue," (not the essay by Amy Tan but the book by Bill Bryson) and "The Stuff of Thought."

Oh. Mabel says hi to Bookstylist readers (all four of you).
