Yesterday I read in the NY Times about David Szalay’s book Flesh winning the Booker Prize. Then I checked the local library where I would be #397 in line if I wanted to put it on hold. And then I visited my local bookstore, bought myself a book and jumped on the Booker Prize bandwagon. Dumping some money into the local economy on something besides coffee and beer... ...books.
The University Bookstore is the largest and oldest independent bookstore in the state of Washington. Founded in 1900. The bookstore side of the operation is now run by Barnes & Noble. But the good news is it actually looks like a real bookstore again. Two full floors of books, fully racked, fully stocked, fully stacked.

Today I was admiring this VDB graphic by Snake Hawk via Drunk Cyclist from 2009. It appealed to me then and still speaks to me now, inspiring me to reflect on VDB’s career and read a bit more about him. Which led me to this book. This time I didn’t even check the library. I went straight to eBay and bought a used one for $7.50
