New Old Books

So today I got home from work and wanted to read something. I decided it would be a good idea to go to the library down the street from my home. I got there and there was a massive book sale going on, and they were charging $4.00 for as many books as you could fit into a paper grocery bag. At first I thought that it would be a lame sale with a bunch of crappy romance or mystery novels that would be a waste of money, but I came out with a list of 21 classic and good pieces of literature all short of a five dollar bill! Not to mention I only had about 10 minutes to pick from all the books that were there because the library was closing. Anyways, these are the titles and authors I picked out:

1. After the Fall, Arthur Miller
2. Modern Poetics
3. Collected Stories, William Faulkner
4. Short Stories of Leo Tolstoy
5. Babylon Revisited and other short stories, F. Scott Fitzgerald
6. A Seperate Peace, John Knowles
7. A Child's Bible
8. The Fountainhead, Ayn Rand
9. The Sound and the Fury, William Faulker
10. Bleak House, Charles Dickens
11. A Guide to Prayer
12. Short Stories II
13. The Pearl, John Steinbeck
14. Demian, Hermann Hesse
15. Around the World in Eighty Days, Jules Verne
16. John Keats, Walter Jackson Bate
17. Gulliver's Travels, Jonathan Swift
18. Moby Dick, Herman Melville
19. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
20. The Return of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
21. Tender Is the Night, F. Scott Fitzgerald

Not bad for four bucks huh?I have only read one of these pieces, but I have just added them all to my library. I find much truth in the statement: "One man's trash is another man's treasure."
