Learn what is to be taken seriously and laugh at the rest. – Herman Hesse

Thank you, Mr. Hesse. That quote is just what I needed to get back into my life. And with my few days away from the duties of running a used bookstore and all that’s going on in my life, I feel I can laugh at ‘all the rest’ once again.

I finished one book, The Village: A Novel, by David Mamet. And started rereading Thomas Wolf’s Look Homeward, Angel. As a young adult I picked that book to help me get back into reading. It did. I’ll never forget going through all the alphabetized bookcase in whatever bookstore in whatever mall I was in. My friend was getting impatient with me and tried to hurry me along. I was in the W’s and that book jumped out at me. I feel now is a perfect time to reread. Do you reread books? Zorba the Greek, Anne of Green Gables, are two that I will reread. And don’t forget, Wind in the Willows!

New books soon to be found on the shelves:
