Is a sale like this open to non students? If so, please let me know the next time you have a sale such as this so I can let me dad know. He is a big reader and would enjoy helping a worthy cause. |

Has anyone read Magick Without Tears by Aleister Crowley? I printed it out and will be checking it out soon.
The library I work at has all the original editions of Crowley's books but they are held in the Special Collections area, not available for check-out. Some of his books are in print, but there are quite a few that are not. |

Oh, and me and my wife are about 138 pages into this bad boy, one of my faves.
 This is the 3rd time I am reading it. Read it when I was 19, then again around age 27. I am now 39. I see new shit every time. |

I buy all my books at the library across the street from work, they have some seriously great shit, in fabulous shape because they weren't in circulation most were donated for sale, usually $.50-1.00, sometimes even 3 for $1!! Recently read this:  I thought it was superb. I liked that it was a single day stretched across several hundred pages (this only felt like it was too much for a day once or twice during the novel), with the perfect blend of mundane daily moments which intersect deep existential insights and reflections. After all, isn't this how real life is? I get some my deepest epiphanies about life waiting for the light rail to pull up, or sweeping the kitchen floor. The ending was surprising at several layers, and while partly unrealistic, the over-all effect was convincing. I'm looking forward to reading more from this author, naturally fluid dialogue and better narration, excellent pace, expansive sensory details and setting.

That book was ok, but I get sick of Chuck's "he said" "she said" "I said" repetition, you have to almost invent your own conjugations just to get through it.. Coincidentally when I was reading Saturday, I was thinking to myself, "See, this is what Survivor could have been, a better crafted introspective exploration of a single day." McEwan does it better
