This One I Liked
This was inside a Ross MacDonald book I bought at a Goodwill store.
A Plea for Understanding
This find came from a used book I purchased from Blue Cloud Books on Amazon. The paperback copy of “An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness” by Kay Redfield Jamison arrived in the mail and I started flipping through the pages. On the inside cover I discovered a personal inscription someone had written … Continued
Overdue
I found four papers stuffed into the back of the seat in front of me in the auditorium. Pierce clearly wasn’t having a good day as the papers included a brochure, a school schedule, a failing report card, and this. I hope he returned Touching the Void.

Hint
I found this in the book “What Women Want Men to Know,” by Barbara DeAngelis, PhD.

This note was found in a high school library book “In Search of Salinger,” which is a biography of the late author. Salinger filed a lawsuit against the author Ian Hamilton, and the student who wrote this note seems to agree with Salinger about the quality of the book.
The Drug War in Mexico
Found this in a self-help book (coincidently not about Mexico or drugs) in a free community library by my house. I hope Demetria finds all that she wants and more.
