Arrived early at the Main SF Public Library Tuesday for Michelle Tea's completely absorbing and highly recommended RADAR reading series (next one, with Chelsey Johnson, David Larsen, Joan Jett Blakk and Tina D’Elia, March 22 6 p.m.). Started browsing the Friends of the Library bookstore to kill time and picked up imperceptibly use copies of:
Big Cats, by Holiday Reinhorn
Esther Stories, by Peter Orner
Shine On, Bright and Dangerous Object, by Laurie Colwin
Primitive People, by Francine Prose
Grand total: $18. Four nearly-new books for the price of one, and the profit benefits the library. Why haven't I done this more often?

oh how i miss the SFPL...i used to go there at least once a week at university, checking out ballets, british comedies, and perusing used books for sale. such a wonderful building too, it really makes a difference. the british library is too austere, and you need specially permission to see the good stuff...
