My university bookstore had "Wuthering Heights". Later, I went by a second-hand store, and found Thomas Pyncheons "Vineland", Jack Londons "Call of the Wild" and "White Fang" and Goethes "The Sorrows of Young Werther".

I don't know why I keep buying more books. I got tons that I haven't read yet. I really should read some more. My new promise, I will now read at least one book every week.

Quite enjoyed it too.

Z, I turned 48 yesterday and I still buy books that catch my eye. The "unread" pile grows unchecked. I will never read them all, but I am assured of a great choice whenever it's time for a new book.
