I was just driving along-- minding my own business-- when all of a sudden, someone pulled me over.  Seriously.  And then, she took some of my money.  And she made me take some books.  Really.  It wasn't my fault.
I got R. L. Stevenson's The Black Arrow, and Betty Smith's A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (which is a book about a book lover, like me.  Only slightly more depressing than my life).  Hardbacks.  Old-looking ones.  They're great.
I can't believe that lady.  The nerve!  She knew I wasn't going to stop at her bookstore, because I don't really have the money to spend on books.  And she made me take those.  What is this world coming to, anyway?

LOL!
I had a bookstore just like that in San Angelo. I couldn't drive anywhere near that because it was sure to happen.
O.o This is disgraceful. Somebody should make a law! No assaulting of and selling books to booklovers.
