Fun Sites

I've added a link to Forgotten Bookmarks. The owner of a used book store does posts on some truly interesting items found in old books. Additionally, he runs contests for old books. All you have to do is send in your name and email address and you may be chosen to receive an old book or sometimes a number of old books.

If you have read The Man Who Loved Books Too Much by Allison Hoover Bartlett or listened to it on "Chapter A Day", you realize your old books probably aren't worth much monetarily. I still love to sort through old books at an antique store, flea market or library sale.

This is just a warning but, if you visit Lileks.com, make sure have lots of time and are ready for a lot of good laughs particularly if you visit the Regrettable Food page. Scroll down past the car picture and you'll see links to all the pages. This used to be my "go-to" place when I just needed to relax.
