What Books Have You Recently Purchased?

Forget the commercial books. Read the real good stuff. I'm talking lit.

Check out my book list below (sig) to see what I'm talking about. There are good writers (King, Grisham, etc) and then there are the great writers (Capote, Hemingway, etc). So go from so-so to oh boy! You will NOT regret it...believe me. Mature readers, read mature (great, all-time) writers.
 
AquaBlue, do you always buy books at the thrift shop? Do you keep all of your books? I saw few books you post, seems interesting. I always shop at Barnes & Nobles. If I am at Walmart, I grab a book or two...and sometimes at CVS while waiting for precrisption to be filled. I never tried thrift shop yet. I was afraid some pages would be missing :shock:

I buy them all the time no matter where I go. I do have library of books all over the house and the shed also. I will not get rid of them books. I had to recount all of my books since I have lost count and starting over. So far in total in two thousands...and still counting more...
