something odd happened at the coffee shop today. i had just finished my lunch and was enjoying a book and some very good iced tea when i noticed a somewhat large catapillar crawling along the bottom of a display case. setting my book down i brushed it into my hand and took it outside so it wouldn't accidently get killed.

after i had retaken my seat a woman approached me and introduced herself then told me she has been writing a paper on asian religion/philosophy and was in the process of describing it to a friend in an email when she saw what i did, summing up her whole e-mail in one action. she added that once she saw that the book i was reading, the tao te ching, was also what she was reading she felt compelled to come over and tell me about the whole thing. after which we discussed the book and i made some reading recommendations to her.

a curious and wholly enjoyable encouner.

So, my local bookstore is huge and the prices are decent and I hate it. They have a ridiculous amount of books, but the selection is of such poor quality that it sucks ass. I went through all of the Nobel Prize winners yesterday to find all of the novelists who I had not read yet. I need new authors and I have had pretty good luck with the people on that list (Steinbeck, Hemingway, Morrison, Hamsun, Faulkner, Gide, etc.). Anyway, I made up a list of ab out twenty winners that I hadn't read anything by. I found one book. One fucking book by one author. Kind of pathetic. Now, I still walked out with a decent stack, but nothing that made me want to go back anytime soon.

I did, however, snag a copy of Roshomon, the book. It looks like it is a translation of the screenplay and a ton of ohotos from the set. I got it for free too. He had it on a rack outside and listed it as fifty cents. I looked at the rack after I had purchased $40 worth of books and when I came back inside the guy told me just to keep it....apparently he didn't want an extra fifty cents.

It's the football tickets thta are expensive. They sold out long ago (They've sold out every game since they moved into the new stadium), so we had to pay about three times the face value. That ticket costs more than my three baseball tickets and my ticket to see Annie combined.
