books & beer happenings

july

Once a month we go to Books & Beer. Here, you can drop off any books you wish to pass on to others and pick up some new reads too. The event is usually in a bar and you can order a tasty burger and a beer to enjoy while you look through piles of books. I've been able to find some great reads. The first event we went to was in May where I picked up Cities of the Plain by Cormac McCarthy. It turned out to be the third book in a trilogy, so I read All the Pretty Horses that month. In June I came away with a good stack, which included two Jane Austen novels. Today I found Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys, which is from the point of view of the mad wife from Jane Eyre. Ming brought back a nice stack too.
