For 169.00, I hope you are providing the sexy young Elvis, not the old fat one.

Dan has been in New York this week and he took for his plane reading a Larry McMurtry called Roads. I don't know if you've ever heard of McMurtry's bookstore, "Booked Up" in Archer City, Texas (pop. under 2000). It takes up several buildings downtown and is enormous. He buys books from everywhere and ships them back to Archer City, which is close to nowhere as far as I can tell.
Anyway, Dan came in tonight with this enormously long list of books that were mentioned in "Roads" (which is apparently McM's musings as he drives home from his roadtrips to find books). He says we are going to Archer City SOON to buy them ALL. He had that scary obsessed look that book people get. It is a VERY long list.
I don't know why I told you this. I guess because I always think of you and X when I think of book addicts.
