I buy mostly paperbacks from used book stores. I read them and then take them back and trade them in on more. I don't have a huge collection that I keep. Just constantly revolving!! The ones I keep I buy in hardcover and my bookshelf is in imminent danger of collapse as we speak! I have all Mary Higgins Clark, most of John Grisham, Michael Crichton and Iris Johansen and a few of Peter Hathaway Capstick. I have a few other miscellaneous books but those are the authors I collect.

 

I have my books listed by author in an Excel spreadsheet. I take a copy when I go to a sale so I won't buy one I already have.

 

What genre is Capstick?

 

I do that with my hardcovers. The paperbacks, I read the back cover and if I don't recognize the story then I either haven't read it or I read it so long ago I can't remember it so I might as well read it again!!

 

Capstick writes true stories of big game hunting, mostly in Africa. They'd probably be pretty boring stories except he has quite a sense of humor. My dad got me started on his books.

 

Ok.


Well, I guess I better get some sleep. Goodnight Miss Rose.

 

Goodnight Big Blue. Sweet dreams and I'll talk to you tomorrow!

 

Morning turds.

 

 

Eh, quiet today. Hows it going Jimbo?

 

Couldn't sleep last night. Now I must wake up, great day of racing.

 

I tried to watch it, can't put up with the mouthy announcer. I won't stop talking! Frustrating. I'll watch baseball and golf.

 

You didn't sleep because of a guilty conscious. Anyone with a truck that dirty shouldn't be able to sleep!

 

I know, it's horrible!

 

I'm surprised the neighbors haven't pettitioned you to wash it. I think I'll make some little signs and put them in the yards. "Please wash the brown truck" with an arrow pointed at you.
