Berkeley Book Buying

I spent yesterday up in Berkeley with Mom on a shopping spree through the used book stores up there. (This is one kind of shopping I actually enjoy.) I stocked up on some Bill Bryson books, though I couldn't find any of his about England, which I wanted to get because I think that's where my next trip is going to be. But I did find a different book about London to make up for it. Then there was also some fiction I had on my list and some miscellaneous other stuff. All in all, I came away with a dozen new used books, so I feel very rich right now. Here's what I got, for any other bibliophiles interested in such things:

• The Mother Tongue, by Bill Bryson
• I'm a Stranger Here Myself, by Bill Bryson
• A Walk in the Woods, by Bill Bryson
• The Ivory and the Horn, by Charles de Lint
• Nights at the Circus, by Angela Carter
• Gould's Book of Fish, by Richard Flanagan
• The Subtleties of the Inimitable Mulla Nasrudin, by Idries Shah
• The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Volume One, by Anaïs Nin
• The Hero with a Thousand Faces, by Joseph Campbell
• Walking London, by Andrew Duncan
• Qabalah, Tarot & the Western Mystery Tradition, by Clifford Bias
• The Tarot of the Magi, by Carlyle A. Pushong
