Recent Finds—I love to purchase books and CD's. I hate to spend retail prices for these products, especially for an unknown artist or author. I prefer to find a used book or CD, check it out and if I like it, I usually end up purchasing multiple products by the same artist/author. Here is a list of recent finds at local libraries:

Books
  • Walking the Dog by Walter Mosley - I've heard a lot about this mystery writer but have never read him. Good condition paperback, $.50.

  • The Farewell Symphony by Edumnd White - Another author of which I've heard much but never read. This is the third volume of his autobiographical trilogy. Like-new hardback, $1.50

  • Dialogues by Jerry Brown - ”Conversations between Brown and eighteen men and women whose ideas and activism have helped shape his vision”. Bought it mostly for the section with Gary Snyder. Having just watched The War Room, the image of Brown arguing with Bill Clinton during the ‘92 presidential campaign is fresh in my mind. Like-new paperback, $1.00.

  • English-Italian Dictionary - Never know when you might need this, perhaps on the long postponed trip to Florence.
CDs
  • Gravity by Jesse Cook. Spanish guitar, Andean flutes, African drums; very soothing. &1.00.

  • Dart to the Heart by Bruce Cockburn. One of those people doing the good work. $1.00.
