Elliott Bay Book Co.
Where I’m relatively sure I’ll be spending a decent amount of money in the coming weeks, months, years. The shop is pretty big featuring hardwood floors that creak and bookshelves requiring tippy-toe viewing.
Lucky (?) for me, I got there last night 45 minutes before closing. I managed to leave with only 3 books:
- Lincoln: The Biography of a Writer, Fred Kaplan
- Le Petit Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
- The Corrections, Jonathan Franzen
(I read The Corrections in college, but my hardback copy has disappeared and fall seems like a good time to re-read it. We also read House of Leaves in that class [kind of an intense class; we also also read Delilo’s The Body Artist], but I haven’t worked up the nerve to re-read that one just yet. Perhaps once I make it through Infinite Jest.)
