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.  |

books you’ll never read #66: I love the Word Impossible by Ann Kiemel. ”…it’s like joy after sorrow. people being friends after being enemies. rainbows after drenching rain…I love the word impossible because my God believes in adventure and extraordinary mountains and He dares to be alive in a world crawling with terrible situations. He promises to be bigger than any impossibility because He is love…” Christian living from the 70’s was all like hippy and love everybody and stuff. That must have been nice.

Notesbooks you’ll never read #62: SLIM by William Wister Haines, 1934. ”The famous first novel that catapulted William Haines into the front rank of American storytellers.” It’s funny because if this book was released now everyone would think it was gay porn from looking at that stud hanging off that pole on the cover.
