books you'll never read |
I manage a used bookstore and I'm constantly getting a giggle out of the old books that come in. Many of them have to be thrown away or recycled because of the condition so I save some of them and bring them home. This is a collection of them and other book-centric stuff I think is cool.  |

Notes
books you’ll never read (junior edition) #52: Letters to E.T. I remember checking this book out at the library when I was a kid. It contains actual letters sent from children to E.T. Inscribed on the inside: This book belongs to Kimberly 02/29/84.

books you’ll never read #51: Riddle of Stars. (from inside jacket cover) “The land-rule of Hed passed to Morgon prematurely, when his parents died at sea. He became one with is rural homeland, his heart and senses bound to its every living creature. And if he hadn’t loved harping and riddlery, he might have remained a farmer all his life.”

Notes
books you’ll never read #50 in honor of memorial day: Plunkitt of Tammany Hall by William L. Riordon. A series of very plain talks on very practical politics. That tiger is pussy-whipped.

books you’ll never read #47: The Memory Book by the incredibly successful memory team Harry Lorayne & Jerry Lucas. They look like they either want to sell me a car or have sex with me while I’m not looking. In the chapter for Names and Faces it gives “alternate” words to associate with a real name to help you remember it. For Dudley you should just think dead lay. For Patterson you should just think pat a son. And for Craig you should think crack. Oh 1974 I think I would have enjoyed you.

books you’ll never read #45 (from the back) “Lonely, banjo-picking Iggy finally has what he wants: new friends, and a great-sounding bluegrass band. He’s so happy-until his friends Duke and Jim ask Murray to join. Murray’s a rich creep with a big house to practice in, but he’s a terrible player-out of time and out of tune-and Iggy can’t stand him. If Iggy quits, though, he’ll lose his new friends-and any chance to play in a band. Iggy’s determined to stay with bluegrass, and without Murray-but how?”
