Very long but very good day.
I went out to Sand Point to hit the giant book sale - the one with the airplane hanger full of books? - and have returned triumphant. I won't do errands down the street in bad weather, but tell me there's an airplane hanger full of 25 cent books and I'll toddle off to parts unknown with only a bit of paper with hastily written bus schedules and an empty sack. Highlights of the haul:
The Art of the Empire: Star Wars Art
20 Years in Rock and Roll History
Mind Hunter
Dr Kinsey's Sex Research
Eye of the World
I also got some light, crunchy fiction in the form of a couple of Dragonlance books. A replacement for my old copy of The Dragon's of Krynn, and a copy of the Magic of Krynn. Looked at the gaming books and they didn't have much. Scanned through a couple of WoD manuals and I honestly can't say anything caught my interest, which is unfortunate because pretty much everyone and their brother has been singing the praises of this system to me for years now. Maybe I need to take a closer look, but from my brief inspection, it didn't really look like anything I'd play in. But I was looking at the Vampire books, and if I remember correctly, there's other branches for campaigns. To this day, my best handbook find has been the Discworld GURPS manual.
I also found a book I may be able to do my case study project on. I don't remember Christa Pike being on our list of banned murderers, and she'd be pretty interesting to do. So all in all, a very successful day. I will be working on the next part of Debts tonight, as well as wrapping up my other projects.
Now I am exhausted and hungry and in need of a bath.
