More Books!!!!! Yeah!!!!!
One of the things I love most about Virginia in the fall is the weather (like today, sunny with a high in the low-60s) and our annual trip to the Green Valley Bookfair.
Though it's open at five other times throughout the year, Sonja and I tend to make this a part of our wedding anniversary trip. There's something about the fresh mountain air that makes a body go crazy for new books at bargain prices.
Among today's acquisitions:
Chain of Command, Seymour Hersh
Wait....the Bush Administration misled the American public on the War in Iraq? Where does this guy come up with this stuff?
At Home in the Heart of Appalachia, John O'Brien
Jump the Shark, Jon Hein
Ted McGinley=the kiss of death
Notes from a Small Island, Bill Bryson
Love this guy's work.
Paris to the Moon, Adam Gopnik (large print)
I heard it was good and with my eyesight, I figure I'd better get used to these editions
A Vast Conspiracy, Jeffrey Toobin
The Clinton impeachment saga revisited
The Kingdom by the Sea, Paul Theroux
More Anglophilia
Mad Ducks and Bears, George Plimpton
Did you know that Plimpton wrote a book about the Truman Capote in his "In Cold Blood " period?
The Faber Book of America, Christopher Ricks and William Vance, eds.

Gats,
Paris to the Moon is one of my all time favorite Francophile books.
They did not offer any copies of Wizard of Earthsea?
How have I lived in Virginia for the past 25 years and NEVER heard of this bookfair?
And Steve, could you please spell "Gatz" with a Z?
You mean like "your momz?"
