Today, I went to the half-priced bookstore and purchased a few books. And by a few I mean more than I intended. By a few I mean almost disregarding that I was at a half-priced bookstore. Or maybe not disregarding. More like taking advantage of getting so much for so little.
I laid my eyes on a Collector's Library copy of The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, complete and unabridged. I fell in love immediately. It's this tiny little book as small as my hand. I want to carry it around everywhere I go. It's convenient enough to.
Then I purchased two books by Bukowski. Post Office, which I am completely ecstatic to now own. And Hollywood. Although I'd have to wait to read Hollywood considering that I am missing a few books in between.
I also got my hands on Naked Lunch, which I had been curious to read for quite some time now. The rest of my purchases were miscellaneous and were the result of my excessive and uncontrollable excitement for the thriftiness.
Just when I thought my day couldn't get better, Rae surprised me outside my house as I pulled in the driveway. I was suspicious of his gift, but I didn't want to flatter myself and be expecting. But there he was with just what I needed, completing my day beyond I had expected. And on top of that, he made me a burger. Most delicious.
I ended my day well.
And I will end it even better by reading some more.
