Oh... Neil Gaiman... Their books conflict me, now. I used to love them.

Neuromancer is one of my favorite books.
It's been on my list for a bit, this was a good reminder I need to get my hands on it.
Pretty sure those would go to other organizations in our city. But great info.
This is a donation book fair, all donated books, all proceeds to charity.
My library was selling a bag of books for a dollar. As in, you bring a bag, fill it with your choice of books, and pay a dollar. Not sure if they still do that, but they were getting overwhelmed with donations.
I always go to the used book sale and get like 30 $1 paperbacks then donate them to my unit book cart (inpatient psych) when I'm done reading them (also a paperback and cup of tea pair nicely with a good night shift).
If any of you would like you do this just remember only paperbacks and while it's not a hard no it's best to avoid obviously hardcore / explicit violent or sexual content (nothing the other patients are going to comment on them reading in the dayroom). Also most of my coworkers who would object to adult content don't really actually... read. At least not enough to censor content deeper than the cover.
That's a great idea, love that. Out of curiosity does your ward have a good selection then? I've been to the psych ward (patient) and there was a shelf with games/books, etc but maybe 20 books and eh 🤷♀️
I think it's a great idea for psych wards (and honestly other general wards too) to have a small, varied library and ideally, a quiet space to read.
You say cart - is yours a mobile library? That's a very cool idea too.
Thats an insane haul.
Funny story.
The movie 'Fantastic Voyage' was from an original screenplay written by Harry Kleiner, based on a story by Otto Klement and Jerome Bixby. Isaac Asimov has nothing to do with it until they decided to do a novelization.
But because Asimov was a big name everyone thought the movie was based on one of his stories.
What a haul!
I’m just getting into the sun eater series but from a quick scan of book spines there if you haven’t I’d recommend wading in unless a space opera than casually mentions 52 planets in the introductory book and is an autobiographical spanning 1500 years of misadventure sounds overwhelming 😂
Maybe the early arrivers got their pick, but a good haul none-the-less
i read mtg books for a while, the ones with the lore behind the cards so to speak. better to read it in succession since the mtg books are continuation of the previous blocks/story arcs.
Oh man, those Lucky Starr titles bring back memories
+1 for Timothy Zahm btw. Nice haul
