Anything to declare?

My customs declaration was for $150. When asked what I was bringing back, I responded books. That's pretty much what all of it is.

The books I bought on my trip to the mid-Atlantic states were:

  • Vendetta by Michael Dibdin
  • Figures of Speech: 60 Ways to Turn a Phrase by Arthur Quinn
  • Design it yourself by Ellen Lupton (Ed.)
  • Calder by Jacob Baal-Teshuva (a Taschen book on Alexander Calder)
  • Mutts: The Comic Art of Patrick McDonnell

    Good stuff all.

    I like Didbin's Aurelio Zen series. You might want to check out Andrea Camilleri's Inspector Montalbano series as well if you enjoy the Didbin books.

    More Italians? Oh la la! Wait, that's not Italian. Hmm, gratzi for the suggestion Melanie.
