Can We Talk 2

The Book Fair

         We have this cool place called The Green Valley Book Fair, about an hour from where I live. It's not open all the time. It's open a few weeks each month or almost that much. In between, they clean and stock new books and take Christmas vacation.

         It's two huge buildings with a connecting walkway. Prices are phenomenal. A book that would cost me $16 on Amazon is $4 there, brand new. They also have a large selection of audio books and educational toys. It's an oasis for readers!

         No, it's not like going into Barnes & Noble, or some book shop with a coffee bar. They have a lot of John Grisham, but not his latest releases. There are a lot of history books, art books, religion, Christian fiction, New Age, self-help, and sci-fi. While there is no porn or soft porn, there is a large section of LGBT books. Coffee table books that you see on clearance at the mall for $10, they have for $4 or under. And cookbooks! I have never seen so many cookbooks in one place. I'm into westerns now, and that section was negligible. They did not have any old titles I was looking for; yet I managed to get two big bags of books.

         The main problem I have is that it's set in the middle of the country, between dairy farms. Somehow I get mixed up every visit. I get in okay, but forget when going out after so many turns at the signs, that I turn left instead of right and end up at a totally different exit from the Interstate. Instead of back-tracking this time, I used Sirius.

         Now I'm ready to dig in. Good excuses not to get any other work done.
