Today I was able to pick up “The Golden Apples of the Sun” by Ray Bradbury, “The Scarlet Letter” by Nathaniel Hawthorne, “Of Mice And Men” by John Steinbeck, “Utopia” by Thomas More, “The Phantom of the Opera” by Gaston Leroux and “Famous American Speeches” which includes Thomas Jefferson’s first inaugural speech, Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, Susan B. Anthony on women’s right to vote, and J.F.K.’s inaugural speech among others. Between the local thrift store and the Pitkin County Library all six cost me a whopping $1.00. Talk about a steal!
