Top pick from the Springvale Library book sale

Yesterday was the Springvale Library annual book sale. I usually buy several books but I had my son with me this year so I didn't search as thoroughly as I normally do. I did get a Batman comic book compilation from 1966 that I think looks pretty cool:

I like that at the top it says, "Now America's No. 1 TV Hero." My son says he still is, because we watch the show every Saturday night.

I've read a few good books this summer. First there was Stephen King's Finders Keepers, and then Nick Hornby's Funny Girl, which was excellent. Now I'm reading Ball Four, the book about the 1969 MLB season by Jim Bouton which was considered so controversial. I'm really enjoying it.

This morning I wrote a newspaper column about the price of concert tickets, and this afternoon I'll probably work on my Coach Zim novel. But because it's about 80 degrees and sunny, I may get outside and enjoy the nice weather too.
