finders keepers

Our school library is one of the best I have ever seen. It's very large (3 stories) and new, which is nice because all the other buildings are really old here. Just last week, as I was leaving the library, I saw a stand that said "free books". Most of the books were about macro-economics or sports management books. I managed to find two books that I have heard of, but never bothered to pick up and read. The first was "Vanity Fair" by W.M. Thackeray and the other was "Ulysses" by James Joyce. Two days later, I made my way back to the library and as I was leaving, I noticed that they added some more books. The only one that caught my eye was "Herzog" by Saul Bellow. I've heard of the book before, and one of the main reasons I picked up that one was because Sufjan Stevens has a song about Saul Bellow on his "Avalanche" cd. Hopefully I will be able to finish all three of these in the next two years here, as well as post my thoughts and reviews of them. I am sure that Sarah and Nate have read all three of them, and I have read little excerpts about them. Besides that, not much is going on. Peace out homies.
