A visit to the used book store yielded some treasures in surprisingly great shape. They are:
- The Glimpses of the Moon by Edith Wharton-a title I am unfamiliar with but that sounds like another winner.
- Seven Gothic Tales by Isak Dinesen-I've been wanting to read something of hers lately. Now I have the chance.
- The Aeneid by Virgil-after reading The Iliad and The Odyssey last summer, this one seems like a logical next step.
- The Mysterious Stranger and Other Stories by Mark Twain-you gotta love Twain.
- A Passage to India by E.M. Forster-I've read all his other well known novels but not this one. I've heard it is his best one. I all ready had a copy but it was old and written in. This one looks like it was never even opened.

There I go, adding three more books to my wishlist. The other two I've read. LOL.
I'm curious to hear what you'll think of Seven Gothic Tales. I really like Dinesen.
I do love Mark Twain. I passed up a short story collection at 1/2 price books a few years ago and I've been kicking myself since then! Maybe I'll read Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer sometime this year...
Oh, nice additions to your library. I'm not familiar with that Wharton either. Passage to India was much better than I'd been expecting.
Enjoy Passage to India. I liked it much better than the movie.
Sorry I hit the wrong button and put the wrong link up.
Looks like fun! Those books all seem brand new-that must be a nice used bookstore.
Puss-now I wonder which ones were added to the list.
Jeane-me too. Amazon keeps recommending her to me. Maybe I'll read just one before I start the next book on my list.
Trish-I've read Huck Finn but I have still not read Tom Sawyer. I know. Shame on me.
Carrie-if the story is anything as beautiful as the cover I am sure to love it.
Bookgal-I didn't realize there was a movie. I'll be looking it up now. But I'll read the book first.
Eva-actually it's a library story and usually the books are in really bad shape. I was just fortunate this time.
