Just finished re-reading "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" which, having recently visited Savannah, seemed like the appropriate thing to do.
Next up: the new Ian Rankin, "Saints of the Shadow Bible"
It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

Still reading Ulysses.
Just out of curiousity, anyone here belong to Goodreads.com? It's a pretty good site. You select books you've read and rate them and after 20 ratings it starts
suggesting books they think you might be interested in, based on your ratings. You can also select books you'd like to read which also contributes to their
suggestions for you. I've read some books based on their suggestions that I probably would've never thought of.

'The English Gypsies and Their Language' by Charles Godfrey Leland. I got this one from the Gutenburg Project as a free ebook. Plenty of stuff there to keep me reading for the rest of my days I think, but I might have to change the pace a bit and go on to a bit of fiction for my next read. Maybe something a little more modern as well. I've been reading books written a century or more in the past of late.
I'm also going to have to check out Goodreads.com now that John has mentioned it...

Mick,
I read mostly older books myself. I go to another site, abebooks.com to buy them. I try to get the book as close to its original publication date as possible,
within reason. Some of the books sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars. I try to keep it under $20. I have several that are 100 years old or older.
I tell people that the books I like to read are the ones kids cringed about when they told us we had to read them in school!
