I started this morning in bed, with my mind wandering down pathways of thought it really shouldn’t have been treading, pathways I’ve purposefully avoided the past month. This eventually led to looking at things I shouldn’t have. End result = Hurt feelings and crazy state of mind. Damn me!
Solution? Green Apple Books. I spent the past 3 hours meandering in both stores, it helped a bit. Book stores tend to do that. I noticed a couple of oddities as well. The section where books by PG Wodehouse would reside held 0 books by him, but 6 different biographies about him. I find that to be a bit bizarre, don’t you? I also discovered that the store had no used copies of Dune, only 3^10 copies of Heretic Diety Star Fucker of Dune, Messy Bung Tractor of Dune, and that stupid Dune book written by his son. Damn you! I want the original! I ended up grabbing a fist full of Steinbeck material, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (by Heinlein), ANOTHER first edition Douglas Adams, and a donor copy of Stranger in a Strange Land.
My plan for the next few days? Read a shitload! Losing myself in bookery is pretty great. I’ll probably try and be “all emo and shit” by finding some coffee shops to sit in and sip hot chocolate. Yay! First book? The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Probably the best follow up to Stranger in a Strange Land, it will allow me to really revel in the Heinlein glory.
Damn, I’m such a headcase sometimes.
