Xmas Came Early

Some insane (gay) individual left tons of books on the sidewalk, near my work. I managed to carry away Boy George's autobiography Take It Like a Man[1], Bret Easton Ellis' Glamorama, The Valley of the Dolls, an Alan Hollinghurst novel, Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, and some dodgy erotica called Gay Blades.

I was going to take Jackie Collins' Lucky too but then a slug crawling on its front cover fell on my hand and grossed me out.

What I left behind (that I can remember): The Dummy's Guide to Screenwriting, biographies on Johnny Depp, Nick Cave and Madonna, Ulysses, some Shakespeare... and a box choke full of VHS tapes! And much much much more...

[1] Years ago, [livejournal.com profile] purplethings brought a copy to one of [livejournal.com profile] suzi's parties because she knew I was interested in reading it. I forgot to take it home and, soon afterwards, Suzi left it at a charity shop (she already had one copy, which she didn't mind lending me). I never got around to borrowing it (and even talked about it during the last X Factor.) Well, now I'm all chuffed for having my own copy... and it's hard cover too!
