Today I came home with a dvd of Benny and Joon from Goodwill (filmed in Spokane and now that I live here I will be paying close attention to the locations used so I can gasp 'Hey! I know where that is!') and an autographed 1st hardback of Let's Explore Diabetes With Owls by David Sedaris from Value Village. I've only ever read one of his books but he was quite funny.

Great movie - I like to watch that one. (even Andy seemed to like it).

I got a copy of "American Rebel" - (a biography of Clint Eastwood) for 6.75 on Saturday. They had a biography of Stephen King but I passed that one up (Cannot even remember who it was by, now).

If you see a copy of Owen King's Double Feature, I'd love it. :)
I'll add it to my list. I'm searching for 70s books. Anything Sidney Sheldon, Judy Blume - I have the Judy's that I bought my girls, but I'd really like some with the covers I had when I was a kid. Same thing with the Sidney Sheldon books. I was trying to think of what I did when I had mono in the 7th grade and I remembered that I read all of my mom's Sidney Sheldon books. Master of the Game, The Other Side of Midnight, Rage of Angels. I'd like the ones with the original covers.

Remember Wifey? I read that one and learned much more about marriage and cheating than any 7th grader had any business knowing--HAHA!

Indeed - that one and Forever - I had a green leather-type book cover that I hid both of those in while I read. Not that my mom cared, but teachers would have. I also read Class Reunion by Rona Jaffe when I was in the 6th grade. I learned much.
