50 Cent Reading List

The other day I mentioned small pleasures in life. Today our local library was having a book sale. Scrounging all the coins in my car seats and my desk at work I had five dollars even. And here is what I found for that:

John O'Hara, Appointment in Samarra

Irish Murdoch, A Severed Head

Carson McCullers, The Member of the Wedding

Raymond Carver, Short Cuts

Joseph Gangemi, Inamorata

Umberto Eco, Baudolino

Richard Russo, Empire Falls

Walker Percy, The Second Coming

Willa Cather, My Mortal Enemy

Flannery O'Connor, The Complete Stories

It is a cold and rainy spring night, but I can see warm summer nights of reading ahead. Some days that is enough.
