I am up near the Harvard campus for a long weekend and so far I've been on a personal crusade to wipe out the area of some of its good books. Too bad Boston - Cambridge! You've had your chance to buy these gems long enough. I am bringing them back to Atlanta.
So far here's the list of the books that are now leaving Boston:
Proust Was A Neuroscientist by Jonah Lehrer, $5
Detective Story by Imre Kertesz, $6
Salt by Mark Kurlansky, $3
Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman, $1 (daughter's birthday gift)
Wanderlust, by Rebecca Solnit (full price)
I am Not Sidney Poiter by Percival Everett (full price)
The Unprofessionals by Julie Hecht, $8
In a Narrow Grave: Essays on Texas by Larry McMurtry,$1(found on sidewalk cart)
This Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War By Drew Gilprin Faust (full price)
Tomorrow, I hit the MIT Press bookstore and then on Tuesday it's back to Atlanta. If I were a flight attendant, I would avoid helping me put my carry-on into the overhead.
