Shopping... — 4 years ago

I went to Half-Priced Books yesterday and tried to remember some of the books on this list. I ended up buying Cold Sassy Tree instead of Cold Comfort Farm, so I guess I’ll have to write this down and take it with me next time.

Maybe this is a bit of a stretch, but have you read The Autobiography of Malcolm X?
