Three of my favorites from Howard Nemerov. On An Occasion of National Mourning, about the Challenger disaster, is just extraordinary. #booksky #poetry

We get all sorts of amazing books in the shop, but these are a favorite for me. These are the exact same edition that I bought in the early '80s. They are in beautiful condition, I just wish that The Two Towers was not missing. #booksky

So, this came into the shop today. A collection of drawings by James Deeds Jr, when he was a mental patient in State Hospital No 3, in Nevada Missouri. An interesting book and story.

I finished this today by @nancyfrench.bsky.social. Memoirs are not normally my bag, but this was engaging and occasionally harrowing. There is a lot in here to learn from whether you are a liberal, like me, or really anywhere on the political spectrum. A good read. #booksky

Okay. This does not happen very often, as we are a used book store. But today's donations included a copy of the 2004 WOTC release of this classic. The box has been opened, but all of the internal components are present and still factory sealed! NOT #booksky?

This came into the shop yesterday. I have not decided if it will be going home with me. Easily one of the most fascinating men to hold the office. #booksky

I finished this today. I have read a ton of science fiction in my 50+ years. This is among the best. Mind boggling in all the best ways. #booksky

I finished this a few weeks ago, and it's still in my head. Such a good book! Beautifully written exploration of work, passion, entitlement, resentment, love, and the harms we sometimes cause each other just by being human. Read it if you get the chance. #booksky
