What can you buy for $4.35?

Well, today in Gainesville, I got seven books, a zine, and a photocard album.

Friends of the Library haul as follows:

Umberto Eco - The Name of the Rose
- Have heard of the author and novel and am otherwise developing a taste for mysteries.

J.M. Dillard - Star Trek: The Lost Years
Diane Duane - Spock's World
- I love backstories, seeing what's in the spaces between known events.

William Shatner (with Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens) - Star Trek: The Return (hardcover)
- Dude, I knew death could only keep the good captain of the starship Enterprise down for so long.

William Shatner - Star Trek Memories and Get A Life! (both hardcover)
- Though there's a bit of trepidation, as I'm to understand it took him some years to develop a sense of humor about himself and his career.

Carl Hiaasen - Double Whammy
- Because while not necessarily rooting for them in all ways, I do think the alligators make a good point.

An odd little "music zine" about They Might Be Giants for [livejournal.com profile] walkingshadow and the official album for the set of first-edition *NSYNC photocards I acquired a year ago on eBay.

*wibble* I don't really have to go to work tonight, right?
