Putting the books before the shelf...

I have already mentioned my search for a bookshelf. Am yet to find something affordable or irresistible. However that has not prevented me from continuing to buy.

Although I was off for almost 2 weeks, I bought some today for not so cheap prices from Bookworm, the Bryson one being a new print from Penguin. The rest were used books.

The Man Who Loved Only Numbers by Paul Hoffman (biography of Paul Erdos, the mathematician)
Staring at the Sun by Julian Barnes
Cross Channel by Julian Barnes
Mother Tongue by Bill Bryson
