This specimen is particularly fond of procrastinating, as most of the other species of the Literary Cabinet Universe are. Registration date : 2008-12-02

| This weekend we have a large book flea market in the city, and I went yesterday with my two best friends. You cannot possibly imagine the dimensions - I think there might have been around 20,000 books, just about everything you can imagine - classics, recent novels, non fiction, drama, school books, anything really. I bought twenty books, most of them almost new, including three large pictorials, and I paid - hold your breath - €5, that is around $7.50. I was literally thrilled the entire afternoon, and I am still hovering over these new books. I just love this market! | |

| I can't believe your luck. Or rather, the absence of mine. There's some sort of bizarre here every year. I hope to get some cheap books there, but that's in April. I don't think I could 20 books for the same price you got them for though. | |

| Well, I had a very kind shopman. He looked at the bags of books we had collected, then asked for €5 from my two friends, and €7 from me, because I had more books, but then changed to €5 each after we looked at him pleadingly for a few seconds | |

Hey now! Just because I'm a big galoot who can't get out of his own way half the time, that doesn't mean I can't...nope, I can't write this and keep a straight face. You're right. I could have never charmed that bookseller. | |
