Clearing out the library

Some dear friends from way back at ACU, then Austin, then  Abilene again have stopped over on the way home from Houston this weekend. I'm smelling pretty smokey from the amazing array of charred meats and veggies I cooked tonight, and we're lazing around the living room sipping on IBC and enjoying catching up. So, I'll make it quick tonight and get back to the festivities:

The Hunchback of Notre Dame...ask me how I feel about my visit to Paris some time, and I'll tell you why I no longer need this book I'll never read.

The Fifth Book of Swords - Fred Saberhagen has created a pretty cool series of books about some swords with magical powers, and I have many of them. Including an anthology that includes this book.

A Book About a Thousand Things - I LOVE books about random trivia. I have many of them. I keep them arond because I forget only a few pages later what I've read, so when I go back to read them again it's like the first time. But, like I said, I have many. This old one gets the axe.

The Three Musketeers - I bought this used because I was trying to read The Count of Monte Cristo. I got really bogged down in The Count and haven't finished it. If I ever do, and want to read the Musketeers, I'll grab a paperback or find a library. Or by that time, I'll download it to the chip in my brain that projects it against the backs of my eyeballs...

The Odyssey - I read this in 6th grade. I actually bought this and the Musketeers at the same time, because they were such good looking hardback editions. Wow. I bought pretty books. I've never even pretended to read either of these. Adios.

Well, we're about to blend up some nice summery Alton Brown orange julius specialty, so, for now...

Peace.
