11.May.2009 Mailbox Monday This Week
I received Mr. Fooster Traveling on a Whim from debnance at readerbuzz as a prize to join her Bookcrossing mini-challenge at Dewey’s read-a-thon. Written by Tom Corwin, illustrated by Craig Frazier. It’s a Visual Novel as written on the cover. I was torn between Metamorphosis by Kafka or this. I thought this looked more quirky and rare, so I picked this one. I can probably get Kafka’s anywhere :).
I bought Gone with the Wind from Basement Books for $2.95 (new). How could I resist?! I’ve never read or watched it, so I’m excited to start! They had a big pile of the books with a big paper with quote above them: “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn”. LOL.
I bought Madwoman on the Bridge by Su Tong for $1. One dollar! New! It could be rubbish, I thought, but the cover was pretty attractive, the title was interesting, and the author was quite famous in China (I also have another book by him: Binu and the Great Wall), so I gave in and grabbed it. It’s collection of short stories.
So those are books that came into my house this week. How about you? Have you read any of those above? I expect a lot of you have read Gone with the Wind.
