Durham Book Sale

Last week we went to the Durham library book sale. This is the second one we have gone to. The first one was in the spring. It is one of the best book sales around. All the hardbacks are $1 and paperbacks are 50 cents, except for some old books. One of the books I got was The Officer's Guide, A ready Reference on Customs and Correct Procedures Which Pertain to Commissioned Officers of the Army of the United States.

Some more books I bought

Here are the titles of the ones I got:

• The Gulag Archipelago
• The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith
• A Tale of Two Cities
• Martin Chuzzlewit by Charles Dickens
• Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
  
• The Gallant Hood (a biography of the Confederate General John Bell Hood)
• Espionage and Counterespionage

We enjoy Charles Dickens books very much. We listen to them in the car when we go on long trips. My favorite so far is the Pickwick Papers.
