Book Sale
OOOHHHH, I just remembered that the Overlook Book Sale starts on Monday. I LOVE book sales. This one is the best because its huge. It's in a big roller skating rink and there are tons of books of all categories. Honestly, i still have a pile of books waiting to be read from last years sale...but I can't resist seeing what treasures I can find for cheap cheap cheap. It has become a tradition for my friends Karen, Trish and I to meet, bags in hand, when it opens Monday Am and join the long line for first dibs. Then I sometimes go back for the even more discounted prices Tuesday or Wednesday if I feel inspired.
Here's a weird/sad thing we've noticed in the past...a lot of times it is the people in the Religion section that tend to be a little more elbowing-you-out-ish...at least that's what we've found to be true. Sometimes you'll find the overzealous book collector in other sections, too, but it's seemed more prevalent in the Religion section. Oh well, maybe they'll read something in a book they pick up and see the light. I hope I never come across that vulturish. Doubt it, I think I probably cower at that sort of competition...specially over CS Lewis or beautiful old tattered Bibles.
