Boxall's 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die discussion

Yesterday I was browsing B&N and came across a table with all the major classics in B&N 's paperback series with a sign stating $5 each . Checked with their cashier and yes their paperback Classics series is on sale for $5 each all summer long ! Went home with Thereau's Waldon and will be stocking up on more selections throughout the summer ! YAY !

I had a great time yesterday morning at a book fair in New Orleans. I picked up about 15 of the 1001 books for about $25. What a great deal.

Love book fairs ! Great score Bob ! anyone else find some great deals ?

If you have any Goodwill stores close by, you might give them a try. I've found quite a bit of good stuff there over the years--same with Salvation Army Family stores. Unfortunately, sometimes they can be a little bit sketchy--but what's that in comparison to getting some good book deals?

There is a neat little app called Serial Reader. I have it on IOS and am not sure it is on Android. But with it, many classics can be read for free in bite-sized, daily bites. The developer is continuing to add books, plays and poetry to the list and does take requests. The app is free, but there is a modest charge to upgrade which includes some nice features like additional fonts and backgrounds. I think it's $2.99. Currently reading Moby Dick, The Gambler by Dostoevsky and Thomas Paine's Common Sense, with s bunch more in my queue.
