About Me
- usedbuyer 2.0
- I'm a bookseller and a used books buyer of more than 30 years experience and a lifelong bibliophile. I've been married in all but legality to my husband Allen for more than 35 years.
Hey Brad--long time reader, first time caller...ok, that was a lie. But I just love Graham G., and as life goes on, he never loses traction. He's one of the few literary steadies in my reading life. I have a straight barber (!!!...?!...?) in San Francisco, who stretched out his doing of my hair over HOURS (me, with 3 hairs to my name) because he just wanted to talk about Graham Greene with me. It was all very erotic.
ReplyDeleteDear Teacher B., did you ever think to just let the barber blow you and excuse him from his book reports?
