This afternoon my brother and I drove from Knoxville to my parents' house in Madison, AL. A librarian on holiday has to go book shopping, of course, so my brother and I stopped along the way at McKay in Chattanooga. For those of you keeping score, I picked up cheapo copies of:
- Evelyn Waugh, Vile Bodies (I liked Brideshead Revisited and A Handful of Dust, so I was happy to find this in a $3 hardback)
- Dom Aelred Graham, Zen Catholicism (I read this years ago at Notre Dame; Graham makes a good argument that the best elements of Zen are part of the Catholic mystical tradition)
- Mark Twain, Recollections of Joan of Arc
- Sr. Mary Jean Dorcy, O.P., St. Dominic (published by TAN, that bastion of ultramontane Catholic literature)
- Monica Furlong, Merton: A Biography
- Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh
I was hoping to find some good sci-fi, but no luck so far. Hope remains, though, since there are some good used bookstores in Huntsville.
