Hidden corners of the mind

There’s a great post by Molly over at the Green Apple Core about reading while not actually reading: Last night, though, while reading what is so far a very good book in such an environment, I suddenly sat up straighter with a startled feeling, like I’d just come around a corner in my own brain and caught myself doing something that always makes me feel guilty… Funny, I was just talking to my husband about a similar kind of experience the other day. I’d been reading a bedtime book to my son, and at one point my son asked...

Green Apple Books is practically giving away books, people. Actually, the ongoing Warehouse Clearance Sale is coming to an end. All used books are now $2.98 or less. That’s a dollar less than a gallon of gas. A more on-point comparison: $2.98 is just a few cents over half of the five dollar penalty for bringing a book back to the library eons late.
