Went book shopping the other day and came away with four brand, spanking new books. They are:
1.
Rage by Jonathan Kellerman (2005; murder mystery; already finished reading this one)
2.
The Right Nation: Conservative Power in America by John Micklethwait & Adrian Wooldridge (2004; Comes under the heading of know your enemy, I guess.
Found this one on the discount table, had been wanting to read it out of the library as research for some writing I'm doing, so I bought it.)
3.
The Republican War on Science, revised and updated edition, by Chris Mooney (2005; another book I've been wanting to read for my research)
4.
Helter Skelter, by Vincent Bugliosi, with Curt Gentry (1974; afterward, 1994; about Charlie Manson and his group; I had a copy before but it got lost somewhere along the way).
I also must mention that about two weeks ago I happend on a library sale and came away with 5 hardbacks, $1.00 for the lot. I sat down and did a little research and discovered that, had I bought all five new I would have had to shell out $132.90. Before sales tax. Four of them were, yes again, mostly for research purposes for my writing project. The other, which will be of more interest here, was
The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien, edited by Humphrey Carpenter.
