I was checking out the used books in local thrift stores this afternoon -- and met an HBO blurker who approved of a coupla poetry books I found at the Youth Ranch book section ("The Mentor Book of Major American Poets" and Nikki Giovanni's "Blues for All the Changes") L said I looked like someone familiar and wasn't surprised who I was when I introduced myself. She posts a comment occasionally. But promised to post more often in the future. Nice lady. I enjoy meeting you guys when I'm out and about. BTW, I need to ask OTV to review the book sections at the local thrift stores. Of the three I visited today, I'd rate them this way: 1. Hospice on 4th (best prices and good selection), 2. Youth Ranch (mebbe best selection), and 3. St. Vinnys. OK prices but disorderly. (However, I found "Snow Falling on Cedars" there for $2). Any of you HBOers know a thrift store with a good selection of books? You can talk about book selections in thrift stores or anything else you want with this Wild Card ...
