Architecture of Happiness

I had already been reading this one for a while now. It's one of those back up books that I keep in my car that I switch to if I get tired of my current read. I don't always take them too seriously and often abandon reading them for months or even years. Tonight I finished reading Palahniuk, but then couldn't decide which book to pick up next. Too many options. I decided to upgrade this one from light to current. By the time I finish reading this one, I'll maybe be more decisive about choosing the next book.

the used bookstore

It was a cold, wet and rainy day today. Sunday, my day off. So I went out to the used bookstore. It's been a couple months since I last went out there. I drove a different car back then, before the blizzard. I used up the remaining credit from my last visit and spent $10 more to get these 3 books:
-Motherless Brooklyn by Jonathan Lethem
-Girl in Landscape by Jonathan Lethem
-Blackbriar by William Sleator
Lethem is quickly becoming one of my new favorites as I've quite enjoyed all the books I've read by him. Almost every book of his I've bought was found at the used bookstore. Gun, With Occasional Music was the only one I got new at B&N. I couldn't believe that I found another William Sleator. I'm never going to run out. As soon as I start reading the next one, I'll find another next time I go out there. Which is good, I haven't read a bad book by this author yet.
