The Books I Bought At Seattle Premium Outlets

It's always nice to have a diverse library of candidate books on hand. This affords you the luxury of picking your next book based on whatever strikes your fancy at that moment. Currently, the sadder the love story, the better.

Here's what I bought recently (in US$):

• Reunion by Alan Lightman, $4.99 hardcover [currently reading, like it so far!]
• Seabiscuit (The Screenplay) by Gary Ross, $7
• The Music of the Primes by Marcus du Sautoy, $4.99 [mathematics]
• The Pleasure of My Company by Steve Martin, $4.99 [yeah, the Hollywood actor/writer]
• The Great Fire by Shirley Hazzard, $4.99 hardcover [there sure are a whole lotta copies of this raved-about book kicking around in the remainders bins, hmmmm...]
• The Dogs of Babel by Carolyn Parkhurst, $4.99 hardcover [looks promising]
• A dinosaur book for Matthew

I've just finished Chico Buarque's Budapest. My opinion to come...
