One of my favorite books is The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins. I bought my copy from Shakespeare and Company bookshop (it is stamped with the store name) in Paris during my senior year of high school. Every time I think about that book it reminds me of the summer before college, living in the little house and building our new house, reading the book and listening the The Invisible Band CD by Travis over and over again. My local library has a very good selection of books on CD (I listen to them at work), so I thought that I would see if they had a copy of The Woman in White on CD. But when I checked the catalog, the library only has one Wilkie Collins book (the still very good book The Moonstone, but that book it not as good as The Woman in White). So what did I do? I bought a copy of The Woman in White (from Amazon for about $6) for the explicit purpose of donating it to the library. Because I love this book that much. I am thinking about doing a weekly book review (on Fridays), so let me know if anyone would enjoy this or if I should just keep my opinions to myself!
HANK: I am a finely tuned ex-high school athlete. I spent four years holding guys like you upside down over toilets.
CANE: I don't care how many guys you held in the men's room, you still can't beat us.
HANK (to his friends): What do you say, you want to teach some punks a little respect?
BILL: Yeah!
DALE: Very little!

A weekly book review sounds like a great idea!
And it's so cool that you bought a book to donate to the library.
