I’ve been reading Dave Eggers’ book, “A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius” which had long been on my To Read list but found its way to me through the book bins at the Hospice Hope Chest thrift store. These are my favorite book bins, because all paperbacks are a dollar, except when they are 50 cents because its one of those EVERYTHING 1/2 OFF days. For some reason, which I have yet to figure out, they have the best used book selection in town and I rarely leave without an armful. It is one of those cases of the right book finding you at at the right time. I like when they do that.

    I wasn’t such a fan of this book. Though I wish I were. I love his work with the 826 Valencia writing project. It’s been ages since I read it though. Every once in a while I think I should give it another go but there are always so many more new books to buy! Conundrum.

    I read all the time… and totally understand the “right book” at the “right time”.
