Half an Hour Well Spent

I went right through the 800s at my local library the other day. I'd never done that before.

Found a book of Grace Paley's poems (a real poet), a late book of Annie Dillard essays, and Antonia Fraser's memoir about Hard Pinter.

Snagged 'em all. With a graphic novel in drawings and photos about Afghanistan, from 1986, from the graphic novel section.

The bag is full of riches. Life is full of amplitude.
