Books are love.

So, considering all the crap that's been going on, I'm working my way through The Monsters of Templeton. It's about a woman who throws her life away over a man, screws everything up, and ends up home in her small town of Templeton with her hippie mother now gone new reformed Baptist. It's a story about change and death and life and rebirth. The novel is also a love letter to the author's hometown, Cooperstown and I find that to be the best part of the novel. The book has made me laugh and cry and in general feel much better about my circumstance in life. I'm almost finished.

Next, I'm putting everything on hold to re-read A Fine and Private Place because if anything else happens, just in the unlikely case it does, I want that book to be the one that I'm currently thinking about.

Uh, I am not sure what is going on. (Drop me an email or call me after work maybe?) However, on the topic of Beagle I found the old new edition of the Last Unicorn and bought it. I really wanted the new new edition because it is pretty, but the store seemed to not have have it. Stupid Barnes and Noble. It didn't have any of his other books either, even though I wanted to recommend them to someone.

There was a copy of the new edition of TLU at Borders...I was going to buy it for you, but I wasn't sure if you had it.

Nope. I do not have it. I had just thought of getting the old new edition when Beagle came up in a conversation at the bookstore. I realize that despite our borders getting a little crappy compared the the book stores in New Jersey, it is still pretty good.
