INCOMING

In between cursing my computer (which has been acting so wonky that I have not been able to post regularly) and cursing Blogspot (which is acting wonky probably because of the above) and my new printer (which isn't acting at all -- grrrr), I was actually able to do a bit of book shopping this week.  The ones listed below cost me a total of four bucks so that made me happy.  The fact that it took me fives times as long to get this list posted as it did to shop for the books made me much less so.
