Mid-May Used Book Porn, or what $50 even will buy you


Here are all but two books that I purchased today at McKay's in Nashville (those are a Pyschology textbook and a Strange But True book for my students).  Traded in $56 of books and bought exactly $50 of books using that store credit.  Not bad, considering most of these were under $1.


I have a thing for plays, it seems, whether it was written in French or Spanish.


Hopefully, some of these titles will spark some curiosity (most, if not all, are available in various translations).  Which ones struck your fancy the most and why?

Now I'm ashamed : I don't remember anything about Le malentendu ! I'll have to re-read it.
And I never read the spanish plays either. Can you hear my sigh ?

Be warmed Sand tried to restitute the language of the peasants in her native country.

I've got that very same edition of Faulkner's Collected Stories. It stares at me from its perch upon the shelf... taunting me with its thickness.
