Well, the most dangerous way to shop is with a cause greater than oneself.
In this case, my youngest brother just turned 30. In addition to the quest to build my own library, I thought he might dig some tomes for his new decade. Check out what I found:
Aesop’s Fables
Stories from The Arabian Nights
A Harvard Classics collection of Plato, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius
Another HC of Shakespeare
Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment
A book of Abe Lincoln quotes
A thesaurus
The wit of Oscar Wilde
The Last Steam Railroad in America by O. Winston Link (awesome night photos)
Wladimir W. Putin - Wiedergeburt einer Weltmacht? (He’s been working on his German.)
Landscaping with Stone
That should do it! A good collection for a good decade ahead. Quirkiness runs in the family.
