BOOK STORE HUMOR

Independent book stores are a rare treat, so I always
visit them when I have the opportunity.   I have the opposite
problem as the character in my Blip:  I buy many, almost
too many books, every year.

I have a policy that when I visit a book store, I always buy at 
least one book.  When I visited this book store, near my 
daughter's house, I bought these:

-THE BACKYARD BIRD CHRONICLES
 Illustrated & Written By:  Amy Tan

-POEMS ABOUT BIRDS
Edited By:  HJ Massingham

-A YEAR OF LIVING CURIOUSLY:
365 Things Really Worth Knowing 
By:  E. Foley & B. Coastes

These books are meant for reading with my morning coffee.
They all have short & interesting bits of information that help 
get my brain revving for the new day.  It's working.
