Good books from Goodwill

I recently went to Goodwill with Manda and Greg and found 6 books at 99 cents apiece. Breb and I decided we would do a little book shopping of our own and so we looked online and found all the Goodwills in San Francisco and devoted the better part of a day to it. The first one was over on Geary and 9th. The next one required a bus ride over to Hyde and O'Farrell. The second GW was the most profitable- we picked up 10 books at that one. Then a quick lunch and we hit the main store at the corner of Mission and 11th. The last Goodwill within our bus range was over on Fillmore.

All told, we purchased 24 books for a little under 34 dollars. I think Breanne made out better than I did, but I was happy with the turn out. Here's the booty list:

Death in the Andes by Mario Vargas Llosa

The Book of Sudoku 2

The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje

Fat Lightning by Howard Owen

While I Was Gone by Sue Miller

I Remember Julia by Eric Carlson

Everyman by Philip Roth

Three Day Road by Joseph Boyden

A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain by Robert Butler

A Lefty's Legacy by Jane Leavy

Unfinished Tales by J.R.R. Tolkien

So I found some Tolkien I didn't know existed. I found some good baseball books. I found a Proulx book and some good fantasy. And Breanne found lots of other ones I'll try to get to. It was a good haul.
