The Southeast branch of the DC Library has a book sale most months (I think it's the second Saturday of the month, from 10-3). Some great finds this month: Muriel Spark's The Public Image and Alan Paton's short story collection, Debbie Go Home, neither of which I'd even heard of before (that's the surprising delight of browsing). Also: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (everyone raves about that, right?) and, best of all, Laurie Colwin's husband, Juris Jurjevics (two different people can't possibly have that same name, can they?),'s novel The Trudeau Vector, which combines geopolitics and environmental disaster, according to the blurb on the back of the book.
