It’s a very flexible adjective.

Just bought this off the bookshelf at my local coffee shop.

My first proper copy of a Beckett. <3

I certainly need to acquire his complete works but this is a respectable start.

"Waiting for Elmo."

They seriously don't make television like this anymore. <3

I haven't been in a reading mood this week. The reason I know is because I have a Graham Greene book, a book about the Crusades, a book about the Soviet political system, and a Goethe novel all open at the moment.

The last book I finished is The Big Nowhere by James Ellroy. When I get back into it I will probably go with Goethe's Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship.

I posted today's find to my member journal but it definitely deserves mention in a proper book thread.

While hitting up the city with a dear old friend, I happened upon this copy of JOHN CAGE – I-VI (The Charles Eliot Norton Lectures delivered at Harvard in 1988–89), a 464pp oversize hardcover.

An aggregate web search returns the lowest-priced copy at $93.99. Or $269.00 new from Harvard University Press.

I paid $18 for a mint edition.

It was just waiting on the shelf for me to come by and claim it. And I will definitely give it a loving home beside my other Cage essentials. <3
