Here comes the hurdy gurdy man.
They collected The Hamlet, The Town, and The Mansion into one volume:

Here comes the hurdy gurdy man.
Local used bookstore had some great finds. Went there looking for Farewell my Lovely and ended up picking up The Big Sleep and The High Window. loving Chandler has such a way with phrasing:

Raymond Chandler posted:

"How do you take your brandy, sir?"
"Any way at all."

Also filled out my Jane Austin collection which I had previously only owned on Kindle. Picked up Emma, Persuasion, Pride and Prejudice, and Mansfield Park.

Lastly, found a great collection of Chekhov's short stories. Can't wait to re-read "The Lady with the Dog."

Here comes the hurdy gurdy man.
One Hundred Years of Solitude, Infinite Jest, and Books 4 and 5 of Knausgaard's My Struggle.

Knausgaard could write four hundred pages of what he ate for dinner the past year and I'd probably read it.
