Everything must go

Hard to believe I landed in the US with a single suitcase.  Red cardboard.  No lock.  Sweaters, shirts, two pairs of jean, the dress I'd bought in Chicago the summer before and a tin box of handmade jewelry.  No books.  I had a strict limit on how much weight I was willing to carry.

That was almost twenty five years ago.  The suitcase is long gone, so is the tin box. 

And I own two cars, a house of my own, and books.  Lots and lots of books.  The books I bought for graduate school classes and the books I bought for fun.  Cookbooks.  Mysteries.  Thrillers.  Fiction.  Non-fiction.  In English, French, Spanish and Italian.  Half-price books.  Full priced books.  Slim books and fat ones.   So many books my shelves are bulging.

Time to offload.

Do you want books?  I have plenty.

Click here to see a list of titles available for the taking.  Drop me an e-mail or a comment.  Let me know what might please you and I will send it to you.

Perhaps you've been waiting to read about 'Ants at work' or you must have Charles Taylor's 'The ethics of authenticity'.  I have good books waiting for a new home and they all must go.

Marie Pierre...could you please write me an illustrated book on the authenticity of ants? No one properly appreciates their strength. Grasshopper

Yes of course. And a book on the jumpiness of grasshoppers, their strong jaws and the way they balance on a blade of grass while staring at you. I'll write about all that.

and don't forget the lovely green Katy-Did who can fly and is much trouble to catch even for a sharp-eyed and persistent hen. Grasshopper
