For the past two years, I have bought only used books...they are cheaper, still in readable condition, and it cuts down the consumerism.
Some old books recently added to my collection from one of our local library's book sale:
Seven Centuries of Verse ~ A.J.M. Smith
Nicholas Nickelby ~ Charles Dickens
Barnaby Rudge/Christmas Stories ~ Charles Dickens
The Iliad ~ Homer
Oliver Twist ~ Charles Dickens
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn ~ Mark Twain

And the beautiful, long lasting flower bouquet that "Handsome" brought me on
my Birthday a few weeks ago.
