The Works of Nathaniel Hawthorne
The Works of Rudyard Kipling
Ivanhoe
War and Peace
a better version of Paradise Lost, as well as Paradise Regained
Robinson Crusoe
The Works of Robert Louis Stevenson
A Thousand and One Nights (in three separate books, called volumes 1 through 6, and over 4000 pages total!)
a new (actually older) version of Decameron
The plays of Gilbert and Sullivan
Man and the Universe (or something about man and universe, don't recall the actual title) by Aristotle
some history book by Plutarch
a book about Cromwell
a book of Gogol
etc, many more
I'd say this is pretty excellent for a day's work, and only $70 spent!
The librarians and all the people stared at us like we're insane yet also their heroes, yet why would anyone not buy books for such excellent prices?That is so funny. I did the same thing a couple of months back and bought some of the same books and others I ahd already bought at second hand book stores. I am slowly collecting a library of classics. Which Gogol book did you buy? I did see a copy of A Thousand and One Nights but didn't buy it probably because it wasn't in good enough shape and I am sure I will find another in better shape, but I still kicked myself when I saw that on your list.
That was an excellent days work. The librarians didn't start at me like I was insane but when I got home with bag after bag my family did. I need another bookcase.
I am glad you had so much fun! And that you have a friend like yourself that you could share the fun with.
