When I have time to spare, I love to read. When I’m not reading and I have time to shop, I browse the bookstores and second hand shops for books. My book collection, including quite a few that I inherited, numbers in the thousands. I’ve read a lot of them. But I also collect books in hopes of reading them one day. Book clubs send me their offers and I forget to return the card declining the selection of the month. Recently, I have found very good deals on fairly current hardcover books at the local dollar store. The public library also sells books they have no use for, and I am a frequent customer.
