Was wandering around the Goodwill bookshelves today, spending my "November allowance", and couldn't pass this up. It's in great shape, and I've heard a lot about it. Oh yes, and it was cheap :) What more could a bookcrosser ask?

Hey, whadya know? We are in Erfurt, and got a 5 hour wifi card :) (which I'm told by the lovely GirlFromIpanema is called WLAN here)

Anyway, just a quick note on this -- I didn't really like it much, as there were a whole lot of run-on sentences, and for some reason, this author (or his editor) has an aversion to apostrophes. Not *all* apostrophes, but many. There were a whole lot of "dont", "didnt" and "aint" instances without apostrophes in this book. Odd.

Another funny thing -- the "verbing" of the word "noon": They nooned at a spring and squatted about the cold and blackened sticks of some former fire and ate cold beans and tortillas out of a newspaper.

When I travel, I like to take books that I can read and then leave wherever I'm going, and this one fell into that category! I read it on the plane over and finished it while waiting in my hotel room to meet another friendly BookCrosser, who said I could leave it with her, for release or whatever here in Erfurt.

Thanks for the walking tour all over your pretty city, GFI! I had such a nice afternoon, and the yummy, fresh-roasted coffee was not only fabulous, but helped keep me awake until. . .well, now, when I need to go to bed!

Oh, hey, someone beat me to it! :-)
Just wanted to let you know that it has safely reached my home, and I will give it a try! I *just* got Mt. TBR down to sea level, and now it's already six books high again :-).

Got it with some other books.
