A really good haul from the friends of the San Francisco Library preview to the BIG BOOK SALE:
A Brief History of Time ... Stephen Hawking
On the Road ... Jack Kerouac
Einstein's Dreams ... Alan Lightman
Requiem For a Dream ... Hubert Selby, Jr.
The Double, Notes from the Underground, and The Eternal Husband ... Fyodor Dostoevsky
Mr. Norris Changes Trains ... Christopher Isherwood
Cakes and Ale ... W. Somerset Maugham
Kim ... Rudyard Kipling
Burr ... Gore Vidal
The Poorhouse Fair ... John Updike
Marabou Stork Nightmares ... Irvine Welsh
Don Quixote ... Cervantes
Economics of the Public Sector ... Joseph Stiglitz
...and three cool (if expensive at $1 apiece) maps: one of the UK, one of colonial Africa, and one of the world to use in my classroom.
Also, inexplicably free/good meatballs, cheesy rosemary bread, and wine.
Thanks to the FM for the ticket! You make standing in line for an hour feel like standing in line for 30 minutes tops.

I no longer needed a reason for my existence, just a reason to live. And imagination, free will, love, humor, fun, music, sports, beer and pizza are all good enough reasons for living.

i want a map for my classroom!
Go to the big book sale! Or to AAA. Or throw your email anywhere near Doctors Without Borders. Or National Geographic. Or just sketch one up on the wall by hand...I have a grid for that if you want. It could help the kids practice coordinates?
