Over the weekend I came home with beautiful hardback 1st printings of Sphinx by Robin Cook (his 2nd novel) and The Plague Dogs by Richard Adams.

Lucky you!Also went to the library and carried home 8 books. Due to corona you can now lend the books for three months, not three weeks, The return date is 22 june. Thought it would be wise to stack up with books in these times
They have closed weekends and shortened the opening hours somewhat in weekdays but seem to plan to stay open as of now.Lucky you!
All of the libraries in my city are closed
....anything by Crichton is usually worth a read, and that one was also turned into a film.....I managed to do an update in my Jules Verne collection. I only had The Mysterious Island and A Trip around the world Under the Sea in shortened editions, two real classics, but now have the unabridged translation from french (unfortunately my french is very bad so cant read him in original language).
I also found The Sphere by Crichton. Sounded promising. Any good?

The book is worth a read but the movie was just okay. Even with the star power in it it still wasn't as good as it could have been.....anything by Crichton is usually worth a read, and that one was also turned into a film.....
Which Will & Grace seasons do you still need?I have been loading up on the original Will & Grace dvd sets. I have found a couple at Goodwill that were in mint condition and the rest I have been getting from thriftbooks.com (yes, they sell dvd's and blurays also!). Also, this past weekend I was thrift store shopping and found Prince: Inside The Music And The Masks by Ronin Ro and an autographed copy of The Secrets Of My Life by Caitlyn Jenner.
3, 7 & 8 and the last episode which I believe is on a separate disc.Which Will & Grace seasons do you still need?
woo hoot! Score!!Well a bit 11th hour, but in the moving of my wife's granny from Oklahoma, my wife found a near mint first edition hardback of The Shining. No page yellowing, no spine creases, and one small tear on the back of the dust jacket. I was flabbergasted when she pulled it from the shelf. I don't think it was ever read. Just put on a shelf and left there for 40+ years. What a score. Now if I could catch SK at the Wal Mart or something...
